LONDON BOYS + Q&A

Behind the loud and intimidating motorcycles of the “Bangladeshi Bad Boys” is a group of second-generation Bangladeshi men who find in their bikes a sense of identity and a way to overcome racism.

This documentary, co-directed by Arun Nangla and Laura Pavone, offers surprisingly vulnerable moments as it lifts a curtain on the racism faced by the Bangladeshi community in the UK, as well as the frustrations, hurt, and pain that come with it. With a loving lens of East London, the exploration of masculinity and Islamophobia is poignantly told by men facing an identity crisis at the intersection of the generational racism they’ve endured.

The film had its World Premiere at SXSW London 2025

The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Farook Shamsher (Joi), Julie Begum (Swadhinata Trust) and the filmmakers.
