DESI:
Used colloquially to mean South Asian immigrants and
their descendants, carrying a subtext of
inclusiveness and
unity…
This hard-hitting six-minute documentary asks the perennial questions: "What does a non-Desi have to do to become a Desi?" and "What does the word DESI mean to you?" For anyone who's ever danced Bhangra in his kurta while watching a Bollywood epic and devouring hot, spicy curry this film is for you!
(This is the pre-sequel to I Want To Be A Desi.)
Festival screenings & awards (as of March 2010):
