My fifth documentary 



The Sindhis are direct descendants of Mohenjo Daro 5000 B.C, one of the oldest civilisations in the world. With the formation of Pakistan in 1947, 1.1 million Sindhis became refugees; generations which have followed are settled in the countries across the world, approximately 5000 of which add to the present multicultural diversity in Britain today. The aim is to uncover the essence of being a Sindhi from individuals of different generations in Britain and to discover western influences upon people from this community and vice versa. This documentary will explore the issues of identity of Sindhis living in Britain.
