In 2019, Akram returned to the curry houses of his youth to create a dance piece that told the story of the immigrant experience in Britain; Khan’s own take on the famous ‘The Last Supper’ painting by da Vinci, where he explores the nuances of eating out and the different roles people play in the experience.
The film used curry houses and Akram’s difficult experiences of his father’s own restaurant to tell a powerful story.
The one-hour documentary aired on Monday 29th April 2019, on Channel 4.
