My Beautiful Laundrette + Desi Queers book launch (15)
Captioned
Join us for the launch of Desi Queers, a landmark book on South Asian queer communities in Britain and how they have helped to shape LGBTQ+ movements since the 1970s, written by Churnjeet Mahn, Rohit K. Dasgupta and DJ Ritu.
In a seedy corner of London, Omar (Gordon Warnecke), a young Pakistani man, is given a run-down laundromat by his uncle (Saeed Jaffrey), and hopes to turn it into a successful business. Soon after, Omar is attacked by a group of racist punks, but defuses the situation when he realises their leader is his former lover, Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis). The men resume their relationship and rehabilitate the laundromat together, but various social forces threaten to compromise their success.
