Great little film for the under represented minorities in North America. Very likeable characters and a story with a lot of heart that everyone should be able to enjoy. We need more of these films written and directed by minorities. Like this one, they have all kinds of unique and interesting stories to tell.

6.5Plot summary
Set in 1996, "White Elephant", is about Pooja, an Indo-Canadian teenage girl with an innocent crush on Trevor, a local white boy - a white boy just like the teen heartthrobs she sees in all the movies and TV she's obsessed with. A boy unlike all the other boys in her mostly Brown and Black neighborhood. However, growing up in a majority-minority neighborhood makes her efforts to pursue Trevor harrowing. As her attempts to spend time with him get bolder, the cultural divide between their groups of friends grows larger. The rift ultimately becomes more hostile than she could've imagined. But this isn't your typical forbidden love story. It's a self-love story.

Relatable and charming
The film while suffering from a lack of budget is saved by the cast members chemistry. If you grew up in Toronto or its more diverse surrounding burrows the film should be relatable. Despite what some may say there is nothing anti white or antimale in film.

I grew up in Toronto with friends from Scarborough. This film is so refreshing and relatable in that it doesn't rely on sex, drugs and alcohol to sell a teen film. The cast members have tons of chemistry and their characteristics reminded me of friends from long ago. I looked at the demographics of the low ratings and they were provided by males 45+...I'll let that fact sit here.
