I'm British But...

December 1990 •English

I'm British but... uncovers a defiant popular culture, part Asian, part British, against a backdrop of fading English nationalism.

Mixing archival footage with present day street scenes of Asians in England, this film chronicles the role of race and cultural identity in the formation of modern day British society. I'm British but... is an engaging critique of nationalisms of any sort and a celebration of cultural diversity and hybridity.
