A documentary charting the struggles and achievements of Gravesham's Indian community will be screened for a second time tonight.

'The Journey' is a three-part series originally released last year as part of the UK India Year of Culture.

It received good reviews and will be broadcast again between 6pm and 8pm at The Woodville, Gravesend.

Produced and written by Kent Equality Cohesion Council and Cohesion Plus working with Samuel Frain of film makers GMM, the documentary covers topics such as the Indian Partition, the role sports and culture have played within communities and the history of the Sikh community in the borough, exploring the evolution of the Gurdwara and the social challenges it had to be overcome.

Sonia Nayyar, of Kent Equality Cohesion Council, said: “We put a lot of time and effort into making the documentary and it has become something of a passion project for us. Now more so than ever, it is important to preserve the experiences and stories of the first waves of inmigrants who travelled from the Indian Sub-Continent and essentially laid the foundations for the Indian community. We really wanted to capture the stories of the local community so that future generations have the opportunity to learn about their journey. Had it not been for this project I would not have known of my own grandfather’s experience of the brutal partition that tore villages and families apart. Hopefully the documentary will serve as an important vessel of heritage and we hope as many people as possible have the opportunity to watch."

Tickets cost £5 and are available either on the door or can be purchased in advance by calling 01474 369 329 or 01474 364 837

The project was supported by the Big Lottery Celebrate Fund which aims to celebrate your community through bringing people together.

Project partners for the event were Kent Equality Cohesion Council, Cohesion Plus and Gravesham Borough Council.
