A young, bright-eyed girl finds herself at crossroads between her Sikh heritage and her surrounding community.
Ackee and Roti is an autobiographical retelling of the struggles of abandonment and acceptance faced in daily life. Narinder Purewal brings us through her life, relationships, parenthood, and spirituality. Struggling to fit in, this British-born Punjabi overcomes the barriers in her life that embody cultural divide, heartache, love, and trauma.
Succumbing under the pressures of society, she descends into the pits of regret and despair. Her only solace is her belief in God, her two children, and her idea of redemption.
On her way back to a stable life, she finds that her journey is filled with hard times and even harder choices. And the end of it all, the only question that comes to her mind is, "Can I accept the society that doesn't accept me?"
