Beeba Boys and Premier Ujjal Dosanjh

Deepa Mehta: All of Deepa Mehta major films have caused controversy, including the latest, Beeba Boys, according to Rabble. Just released, Beeba Boys depicts the stylish, violent world of second- and third-generation Indian gang members on B.C. lower mainland. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. The topic is timely -- 150 young men have died in gang violence there since the 1990s -- but not one that the local South Asian communities particularly want aired. It hurts. Former B.C. Premier Ujjal Dosanjh, who supported the film project, told The Globe and Mail, Beeba Boys "is a very brutally honest depiction of a brutal disease that afflicts B.C., and some of it is in the Indo-Canadian community.... Honesty offends. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
