Behind the Bhangra Boys
The South Asian Film Festival of Montréal (FFASMontréal), the only festival of its kind in the greater Montreal area, is dedicated to exploring the work of filmmakers of South Asian origin and themes relevant to the Indian subcontinent. The festival is committed to showcasing recent artistic works that contribute to debate and explore the world we inhabit.
Behind the Bhangra Boys is a joyous look at culture, immigration, activism and community through the experience of the Maritime Bhangra Group. Going beyond the dance and viral videos, we follow the group as they seek connections in First Nations communities to raise awareness for Climate Change and our planet.
