Sikhs of Smethwick (BBC4, 2016), which liquifies the visual history of my hometown community, emerged from my artist film Year Zero: Black Country. My quest to present sourced footage inspired the multi-part series on BBC4 “A Very British History” about the travelling community, blacks of Birmingham and Jews of Leeds, among others, which for two seasons.

My latest documentary film, a feature titled Green Lions, was inspired by a trip to Cameroon in 2016. It broadcast on BBC4 in Nov 2022.

Sikhs Of Smethwick

Authored single film on BBC4 about migration, marriage and assimilation among the Punjabi community in Smethwick.

“Dosanjh argued that Smethwick’s 60s racism has its echo today. I wanted more from him to clinch that point. Instead, we got something lovelier – beguiling footage from the intervening half century chronicling the lives of the Sikhs of Smethwick - Punjabi wrestling tournaments, wedding videos, booze-ups and dancing.” Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian
