Synopsis

This short film is a creative, almost surreal, but funny look at the perceptions of Indians in London through the eyes of two British cousins of Indian descent. As Latifah and Himli wander the streets of the capital they sardonically discuss how the British-Indian community has assimilated whilst gently poking fun at some of the more eccentric parts of their own culture. A charming and unique entry point for young people to begin discussions around diaspora and integration.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
