In the short film created by Jit and local videographer Derek Roberts, Jit describes his own issues with addiction, the devastating impact that this life had on his family and friends and what he did to work through his addiction and turn his life around. 🎞️ Showroom Community: I am Jit and I’m an Alcoholic + Q&A (CTBA) | Wed 17 Sep @ 18.30 🔗 https://bit.ly/3Uk6LhJ The purpose of the film is to raise awareness of addiction in the South Asian Community, provide information for addicts to recover and for their families to get help and support so no other family goes through what Jit’s family were forced to live through. After the film we will host a Q+A with our esteemed panel Jit Chauhan (Film creator), Kim Kaur (SAFIR - South Asian Females in Recovery) and Sohan Sahota (Managing Director of BAC-IN). The discussion will be focused on tackling stigma and barriers to support within minoritised communities, particularly South Asian Communities. It is facilitated by Cllr Nighat Basharat, Irfan Khan (PMC) and Rifhat Aziz (ARC Project 6) Showroom Community screenings partner with Sheffield’s diverse communities to showcase films that reflect and celebrate their values, cultures and beliefs.
