To look at how the instrument is used

around the world, for example

religious events and wedding parties.



The topic of my documentary is

focusing on the Dhol and how it has

changed music and how the Dhol is

used at religious functions.

The USP (unique selling point ) of my

documentary is that there are not many in fact

there are no documentaries about the Dhol, and

my documentary will show live performances

and expert interviews which will entertain the

audience. Also the different sign in introduction .
