Harjinder Grewal Britain
Portrait of a Ghetto
Southall seen through the eyes, and told through of the words of an immigrant girl.
Seen through the eyes of an immigrant girl, the film is an intimate portrayal of Southall, a London suburb known for its Asian communities. Fusing black and white photography with an urban soundscape, a different narrative and aesthetic approach is explored to give a new perspective.
