Where - Safari Cinema, Station Road, Harrow, HA1 2TU

The film director Azeem Khan, will be on site for questions. The idea for the showing was Chandra Shah’s, as part of his work with Mental Health Media, and the Open Up project: to address stigma and discrimination within the Asian community.

OPEN SECRETS a film from SHIFT about an Asian family's issues
surrounding mental health. Saeed Jaffrey and Valmike Rampersad play leading roles.

Earlier this year SHIFT commissioned Azeem Khan, director & writer,
Azko Films, to produce a 17 minute film based on his script. The
result is a remarkable and compelling short story describing a family's
journey through their son's experiences in and out of hospital.

We would like to invite you to participate in this special event. We will be discussing the film and perceptions and prejudices in Asian society
on issues surrounding mental health stories.

We would very much like you to be with us at this event. This is part of the ‘PEOPLE LIKE US’ campaign by Mind in Harrow. Our aim is to raise awareness about mental health, silence, stigma, and discrimination. We invite you to view the film, and then join us for discussion and snacks afterwards.
