Combining music documentary and social documentary, MUTINY: Asians Storm British Music charts the meteoric rise of South Asian electronic music in 1990s Britain, as well as the decades of cultural cross-pollination and political struggle that led up to that historic moment. Shot independently on digital video over the course of seven years, MUTINY features Asian Dub Foundation, Talvin Singh, Fun^Da^Mental and a host of other British musicians of Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi descent, presenting these artists and their music at extreme close range.

Miss Manju Truck Driver
(Manjuben Truck Driver)

SUNDAY June 6, 7:30 pm
Director: Sherna Dastur
India, 2002. 52 min.
(English subtitles)

Miss Manju is a truck driver who defies gender stereotypes. She describes herself as half Shiva, half Shakti (man/woman) who “doesn’t need anybody else’s power.” This betelnut chewing, cross-dressing businesswoman hangs out with the boys and comes home to a girlfriend and a family who call her “big Daddy”. You may say that “butch dyke” is this woman’s middle name, but hold off on the labels. This beautifully shot observational documentary, filled with close-ups of busy Indian roads and night cafes, has been structured as a poetic story of an original trailblazer as well as the social landscape surrounding her.

SomArts Cultural Center,
934 Brannan Street

Admission: $8
Tickets can be purchased at the door on day of event - CASH/CHECK only
