The ‘Lassi Lesbians’ are a group of young British-born Asian women exploring their sexuality. These girls are a juxtaposition: feistily fighting stereotypes while mindful of honouring their parents’ expectations of arranged marriage. I found the girls’ behaviour liberating while feeling sympathy for their desire to conform. I was disturbed by the menacing undercurrent of hate crime - its presence providing a contemporary edge to the story.
