that my father's generation had been through in orderfor me to be standing there at that moment, shooting a movie. she will only end up disappointed like me. when my dad first came to britain, he had worked for barclays bank in kenya, and when he came to england in the 1960s with a turban and a beard, he had said, "you know, i am going to go to barclays," and he went to the barclays bank in southall and they absolutely laugh their heads off when he went in and said, "do you honestly think we're ever going to have someone "who looks like you, with a beard and turban, "work in our bank?" and they literally threw him out of the bank. and then he ended up cutting his hair and became a postman. when i was a teenager in nairobi, i was the best fast bowler in our school. and i took that story and made it about the east african cricket club in the movie. but when i came to this country, nothing. i was not allowed to play in any of the teams and these clubhouses made fun of my turban and set me off packing.
