East is East!

An amazing film, set in Salford Machester in 1971, created by Film Four.
A film about one family living in England who are mixed-ethnicity with an English Mother and a Pakistani Father.
It's about the struggles the family takes with religion, culture how they should conform to society due to their race, and not necessarily live their lives how they want to.

Father wants to set his son's up with other Pakistani brides instead they start seeing other British girls. They hide their true emotions and sexual feelings because of their religion. 

Racism was high during the 1970's, therefore the British girls also had to lie about their boyfriends being Pakistani. 

There is a scene where the father goes out and the two sons and the daughter make sausages and bacon. In their religion, Muslims see pinks as dirty animals therefore do not eat their meat. The father comes home early so the children spray the house with deodorant and air freshener to mask the smell of pig.

Similarly to Oranges are not the only fruit, east is east shows how your religion can contradict with your feelings e.g. sexual relationships with the wrong people and how you may want to live your life e.g. eating specific things. But it shows how a family gets through these times together whereas Jeanette has to suffer with these feelings practically on her own.

Her religion is covering her from acting upon how she feels about women...

The 1970's was a time where conforming to society becoming broken.
