What is it to be a second or third generation British Asian in 2021?
Anthony Pius is a classically trained Bharatanatyam dancer and drag queen from London who is producing and starring in shows with a full cast of Asian Queens. Almass Badat is a DJ with a residency on BBC Asian Network, her dream is to show people a world through her lens; that of an independent, Muslim, queer woman.
Fresh out of lockdown, we follow them as they transform their own deeply personal learnings of British Asian identity into work which asks to be understood and demands to be celebrated.
