"Desi, South Asians In New Yoork"

Documentary: 56 min

This documentary was created for "Thirteen, WNET New York"

With stories as varied as the vast terrain of the Indian subcontinent itself, Thirteen spotlights the colorful patchwork of South Asian culture across the tri-state area in DESI: SOUTH ASIANS IN NEW YORK. The latest in Thirteen's Ethnic American Series, the film presents dozens of first- and second-generation New Yorkers who share their insights, reflections and experiances to illustrate the wide spectrum of Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, Nepalese and other South Asians who have become an integral part of New York City. From the Diwali Festival of Lights at South Street Seaport to "Bollywood" shows at Nassau Coliseum, the vibrant heritage of South Asia has found a home in New York.
