Through the generations: Tamil oral history project is a one-year oral history project narrated and conducted by different generations of Tamils in London.
The project uses oral history, documentary film and social media to capture and communicate the stories of the Tamil-speaking people of the island of Sri Lanka, and their descendants, who migrated to London between 1958 – 2009.
