DIL PUNJABI

by Krishnendu Das aka Babakishan

short documentary, red camera, punjabi/english, 2010

Based on the true stories of new immigrants in Canada

Dil Punjabi is a story of new Punjabi immigrants coming to British Columbia. I myself  immigrated from the Punjab in 1984, I understand the challenges immigrant young people can have, and I welcome Babukishan in presenting a Bollywood style documentary film based on a true story, of how difficult it can be for young people to immigrate, and integrate into Canada successfully.  Canada is a wonderful country with a multitude of opportunity, it is important to know there are resourses, that will assist a young person, when they need help with peer pressure, bullying, drugs or gangs. This is a story of a young man named Happy Singh, who gets involved in fast money, a fast life. It is a story about new immigrants form Punjab India, and the dangers of getting involved in the wrong crowd.. It is a story about racism, peer pressure, about wanting money, respect, and running after false glamour.  As parents we should know where your teens are, ask your teens, and young adults where they are going, who they are hanging out with. Gangs provide a sense of belonging and acceptance. A young person may feel isolated, may act out against bullying, Please talk to your kids and try to understand, they may be going through something that you never considered or had to face in your homeland.
