Our film is all about the representation of ethnic minorities within working class communities, mainly in Manchester. The protagonist in our film, Anoop is a working class, Indian teenager living on a Manchester council estate. Our film addresses the racial stereotypes surrounding the ethnic minorities and brings to light the still present racial prejudices inside Britain. Anoop himself recognizes the social differences within the film by mentioning names he has been called in the past.
The film is an exaggeration of real life but this is what brings in the comedic elements. For example ‘Bhaji Boy’ is not a name Anoop has ever been called however it is an exaggerated stereotypical insult which presents the injustice by making a mockery of it. This is meant to alienate an audience of people who have perhaps made these ill informed judgments in the past, by making them see the stupidity of certain stereotypes.
As well as this the social group represented in our film is one, which people don’t know much about. The purpose of the film is to abolish the stereotypical view of “ all Indians eat curry” and look into the life of a real Indian and see the day to day activities he undertakes, to show audiences that they are not all that different and make Anoop and easily relatable character to both Indians and other racial groups .
