Gurindher Chadha’s ‘I’m British But…’+ Post Screening Discussion

Join us for a rare screening of Gurindher Chadha’s (Bend it Like Beckham, Blinded By The Light) earliest directorial venture.

The documentary short I’m British But… examines what it meant to be a young British Asian in the 1980s. The rhythms of Bhangra and Bangla music set the pace for this lively collage of interviews with British Asian youth. Mixing archival footage with present day street scenes of Asians in England, this film chronicles the role of race and cultural identity in the formation of modern day British society.

The screening is followed by an open discussion exploring the themes of the film and the meaning of British Asian identity today led by Aagya Pradhan.

Screening as part of our SAHM film season
