    Culture clash in 1960s London

    Akthar's real mother's story is the inspiration behind this delightful film. Fagun Thakrar as Zohra delights as the young girl whose early experience of a different culture remind us of what life must have been like for many immigrants coming to London in the 1960s. As today, they were led to believe that there would be a better life on offer here but, sadly, that's not always true. The film is shot in black and white which, in my opinion, helps keep the audience focused on the story. It also helps to create the dingy appearance of the appalling accommodation the family are forced to live in. Reminders of the Rachman era are clearly drawn in the character of the unscrupulous landlord. Zohra's brothers are well portrayed and move the action along.

    Moments of gentle humour keep the film light but its message is as relevant today as it was then. Accept different cultures and learn from them not try to force British culture onto others.
