The Colour Of Milk | 16mm Short Film

The Colour Of Milk - Written & Directed by Kaamil Shah | Produced by Blaise Singh & Omar Zura 1978 - A silent comedy about two women who end up connecting over the milkman's delivery. Starring Eastenders' Iqra Ahmed - Priya Davdra. Director statement: I'm a writer-director and actor from South-West London who has always been interested in portraying the British South Asian experience in film and media. The Colour of Milk was inspired by the stories of my parents and grandparents, who arrived in the UK in the 60's and 70's and often found themselves the victims of petty acts of racism that marked their daily lives. Bringing this story to life has been a dream come true in many ways for me and I hope to continue to create content that speaks to the issues we face in today's society. This short film was produced as part of a heritage lottery funded project. "Southall on Film" is a year-long heritage project that explores the relationship between the town's South Asian community and their love for film. Through research, conducting interviews with life-long Southall residence and making films inspired by their stories - a group of young people discovered a South Asian legacy in Southall that they never knew about.
