A Safe Place to Be
Looks at the lives of Bangladeshi Moslems who have settled in Spitalfields, London, beginning with a history of the area's inhabitants from the 18th century. There are interviews with Bengali people, local councillors, historians and white residents; and a picture emerges of the Bengali lifestyle and the discrimination they face.

South Asian Britain on Film
Discover a rich history reaching back over a century as we celebrate South Asian communities and culture across Britain.
From local news to feature film, through home movies and TV documentaries, this collection showcases South Asian Britons in front of and behind the camera. The contribution of colonial troops is illuminated through the earliest newsreels, while hardhitting current affairs programmes highlight the struggles faced in the 1960s, 1970s and beyond. Public information films produced for South Asian audiences feature alongside Hindi-language films made in Britain and interviews with prominent Asian-British figures. A bold wave of British Asian filmmaking in the 1990s is represented through early works by the likes of Gurinder Chadha and Asif Kapadia.
