Dr. Suri reveals much of his innermost emotions, such as missing his family and home town, his difficulties at settling in a new country, and concern at the casual racism to which he was often subjected. The film also includes footage of various British TV programmes of its era regarding Asian emigrants (perceived as naively patronising), also incorporating part of an interview featuring Margaret Thatcher's views on emigration shortly before she became British prime minister. It was distributed by ICA Projects. It was released theatrically in both the UK and the US. (en)
