In a unique role for a broadcaster, CBC was not only there to document the entire affair for its radio, TV and Internet services, the Corp was an active creative partner through its Radio Orchestra - the last remaining one in North America . Burning To Shine not only blurs the line between hip-hop & classical, but also between a public broadcaster and one of its very public citizens, K-os. The documentary reveals the intimate struggle of a red-hot but complex hip-hop artist dealing with a unique challenge, at an important time in his ascendant career. The combination of Kos' impulsive tendencies in contrast to the disciplined rigors of both classical composition and TV/radio broadcasting, makes for natural tension. With only two and a half hours to perform a perfect take with the 30-piece orchestra, Burning To Shine culminates in a triumphant performance of the completed song by K-os with the CBC Radio Orchestra (including tablas, guitar, drums & turntables).
