Partition � An historical Indian epic

Special screenings of the film Partition will be shown at the Lighthouse, Wolverhampton as part of BHM. India, 1947: War weary, Gian (Jimi Mistry) resigns from his Sikh regiment of the British Army and returns to his village. As colonial rule comes to a hasty end, the turmoil of Indian partition spills over into a bloodbath of ethnic cleansing between the Sikh, Hindu and Muslim communities. When the villagers take revenge on a group of Muslim refugees, Gian saves young Naseem (Kristin Kreuk), and shelters her in his home. The two fall in love, despite the opposition of the outraged villagers. When Naseem leaves to find her long-lost family in Pakistan even more brutal judgement awaits. Sarin�s film is an epic, sweeping motion picture set against the violent upheaval of India�s partition. Dir. Vic Sarin, Can/South Africa/ UK, 2007, 1hr56.

The opening night of Partition (Fri 3 Oct) sees a special introduction by writer, theatre director, film-maker and installation artist Pervaiz Khan of the South Asian Alliance who will also lead a discussion after the film.
