The Ode to Partition
British. Asian. Is that two identities or one? The answer will tear you apart.
4 British Asians confront the reality of their existence as Britons and try to come to terms with their split heritage, reflecting on the effects of Empire through the lens of the Partition of India, one of the driving forces of South Asian migration to the UK.
This film was made to mark 75 years since the Partition of India.
