But Where Are You Actually From?



This short film explores the challenges and complexities faced by young women born in Britain who feel a dual identity due to their South Asian heritage. This is a topic I strongly relate to, as I also resonate with the question of where I truly fit in. I planned to explore themes of religion, culture, and family, and investigate the ways in which young Asian women are influenced by Western society. The project aims to create a short film featuring interviews and a mix of imagery, conveying a message about the struggles young Asian women face as they navigate their dual identities between South Asian and Western cultures.
