The Sikhs Of Smethwick

Authored single film about marriage and assimilation among the Sikh community in Smethwick.

“Dosanjh argued that Smethwick’s 60s racism has its echo today. I wanted more from him to clinch that point. Instead, we got something lovelier – beguiling footage from the intervening half century chronicling the lives of the Sikhs of Smethwick – Punjabi wrestling tournaments, wedding videos, booze-ups and dancing.”
