Synopsis

21-year-old Bob Dylan visited frosty, grey London for the first time in 1962 to take part in a BBC broadcast, having never left America before. He sang four songs including the first ever broadcast of "Blowin’ in the Wind." The BBC wiped the play in 1968 and it’s become the Holy Grail of missing Dylan archive. Arena goes in search of it, exploring the bizarre story of Bob Dylan’s first time in London.
