The BBC's Radio 4 will debut a program titled "On Kosovo Field," inspired by PJ Harvey, whose 2016 LP The Hope Six Demolition Project was informed in part by her travels in Eastern Europe. The video Harvey released for "The Wheel" integrates footage shot in Kosovo between the years 2011 and 2015. Pitchfork points out that the new Radio 4 program was written by Fin Kennedy, produced by Nadia Molinari, and stars Michelle Keegan and Nico Mirallegro. The five-part drama tells the story of Kosovo-born siblings raised in Manchester who return home after learning that a mass grave was uncovered near their former home.
