Unspoken Mental Health Film Festival presents The Boy with the Topknot—a powerful story of family, identity and mental health

Join us for a special in-person screening of The Boy with the Topknot, followed by a panel discussion with the cast, at Unspoken: The UK South Asian Mental Health Film Festival.

Based on Sathnam Sanghera’s memoir, the film follows Sathnam, a British Punjabi man in London, as he prepares to challenge his family’s expectations around marriage. In doing so, he uncovers painful truths about his father’s schizophrenia and long-held family secrets. It explores identity, family, stigma, culture and mental health across generations.
