One Monday in June we hosted the filming at Yeovil Art Space and saw the team capture these wonderful ‘untold’ stories. The project aims to capture on camera around 50 first and second generation South Asian stories of people living in Somerset, Dorset, Swindon and Wiltshire

The stories, whether of challenge, joy, isolation or community are part of the living history of this region. Create Studios put a call out to hear about the journeys, first impressions and hopes and how you build a life in a new place.

This is an exclusive sneak peek of the Kahaani film and an opportunity to explore the new website, bringing these at-risk stories to life. Learn how elders integrated into their communities, contributed through business, healthcare and local government and helped shape the cultural fabric of rural Southwest England.

These stories will become part of a digital archive, inspire short films and be used in schools to help challenge stereotypes and promote understanding.

The Kahaani Project – meaning story – is being delivered by Create Studios based in Swindon, with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Click here to find out more about the project
