Behind the loud motorcycles of the "Bangladeshi Bad Boys" is a group of second-generation Bangladeshi men who find in motorcycles a sense of identity and a way to rise above racism. With a loving lens on East-London, this documentary explores their struggles with identity, racism and Islamophobia, revealing moments of vulnerability and resilience.
London Boys was co-directed by Arun Nangla and Laura Pavone, and co-produced with Kim Longinotto (Shooting the Mafia) and Chiara Liberti.
