There seem to be no other video programs about the ancient Indus available though some have been made over the years. The BBC made a documentary in the early 1950's with Sir Mortimer Wheeler. The French company Marathon Productions made a program on Mohenjodaro that was shown on the The Learning Channel in the US as Silent Walls of the Indus in the early 1990's. Television documentaries made in South Asia are not known to be easily available.
