CGiii Comment

The less said about this - the better.

The filmmaker is gay - he tells us so in the first few minutes - why...remains a mystery.

This is a film about Trinidadian Roti...

Major spoiler alert...Trinidadian Roti is different from Indian Roti...an earth-shaking discovery!

Strictly for [gay] food anthropologists. Not for general consumption.

The(ir) Blurb...

Growing up in Trinidad, Richard Fung loved dal puri roti. In this epic culinary quest he sets out to discover where this spicy flat bread was born. His journey takes him from the central plains of Trinidad to the Bhojpur region of India, and finally to the snowy streets of Toronto, Canada, where he now lives. Eye-opening and richly enjoyable, this film is a fitting tribute to a majestic culinary invention that has traveled the world.
