Sheffield filmmaker Darshan Gajjar documents the story of his grandfather, Pravin Mistry, a Gujarati man displaced from Uganda who rebuilt his life through corner shops. The director defies racist stereotypes by lovingly depicting what these businesses truly meant for the families behind them. Tying the racism of the 80s to that of today, the film places one family’s story in the context of intergenerational resilience across migrant communities in Britain.
