One flavour of India

In 1965, Yash Pal Suri left India for the UK. He then bought two Super 8 cameras, two projectors and two reelto-reel recorders.
One set he sent to his family in India, the other he kept for himself. They exchanged images for some 40 years - but his planned return did not go well and the close-knit family gradually tore itself apart.
Sandhya Suri's documentary is about cultural identity, family obligations and whether you can ever belong quite where you think if you leave one continent for another.
The film is intriguing, moving and relevant. It's a bit scrappy at times perhaps, but the lack of slickness often does it a favour.
