REQUEST :: Cat Stevens becoming Yusuf Islam

I've noticed for some days a "Seeders Wanted" request for How Cat Stevens Became Yusuf Islam, so I decided to see what I could find. I think this is the same documentary as the one seeded under that title here on 13 Aug 2008, though it is a different video file format.

Anyway, I hope it helps.

This video was the season premier in 2000 for VH-1's documentary series, "Behind The Music." It's a Cat Stevens biography and spends a good deal of time on the career in music he pursued early in life. Viewers should not expect this to be all about his conversion to Islam, though that is covered in the latter part of the film.

Here's the VH-1 blurb from 2000:

Cat Stevens: Behind The Music tracks the musical and spiritual journeys of the '70s superstar singer-songwriter, born as Steven Georgiou and now known as Yusef Islam. Steven's early pop chart successes in the late '60s were followed by a year with tuberculosis complicated by his own vague discontent, but he followed his near-death experience with rebirth as a huge international star in the '70s, with hits like "Wild World," "Lady D'Aarbanville," "Moonshadow," "Peace Train," "Morning Has Broken," "Miles from Nowhere" and many others. But another near-fatal incident, however, when Stevens almost drowned while swimming in the Pacific, changed his life forever. He answered the call to the Muslim faith, and became Yusef Islam. Back in his native London, the former idol has established a school for Islamic children, is an activist for war orphans from Bosnia, among other humanitarian efforts, and is busy recording new music.
