The Real Story Behind Zimmers of Southall | Hark1Karan
Today I am joined once again by Hark1karan and today we’re talking about another grass roots project he’s been involved in, called ‘Zimmers of Southall’ - a short documentary film about the intergenerational subculture of classic car enthusiasts and their love for dub/reggae in West London.

As usual here's a time stamped breakdown of the conversation:
00:00 - Introduction
01:02 - How did the idea for the documentary come about?
03:25 - Why did reggae music resonate with those you spoke to?
05:00 - Have you noticed this subculture elsewhere?
05:29 - Kenyan motorsports influence on the subculture classic car enthusiasts and their love for dub/reggae in West London.
06:23 - What is about classic cars, that those you spoke to, love so much and why that and not modern cars?
07:36 - Did going to the car meet encourage you to do the documentary?
08:22 - Would it be fair to say that the cars act as a seal of approval and the continuation of a legacy?
09:10 - How long did it take and what did it entail to go from having all the raw footage to produce the finished documentary?
11:21 - What has the response been to the documentary?
12:09 - Is there a plan to do a 'Zimmers of Southal Part 2' or to take this any further?
12:59 - What are your plans for the rest of the year, are you working on any other projects?
13:28 - Could you explain a little bit more about what this new book contains?
14:48 - As someone who experienced Tikri border first hand, could you help paint a picture of what it was like for those listening?
15:46 - What was the general sentiment of those you interacted with at Tikri & how did they respond to you, coming from outside, to see what was going on?
17:30 - Why do you do the work you do, whether that's Pind, Zimmers of Southall or Kissan?
18:23 - Conclusion
