In this episode of SBS Spice, Joshua tells Suhayla Sharif how he turned his family’s stories into 'A Place in the Sultan’s Kitchen', a theatre production where he cooks his grandmother’s chicken curry live on stage.SBS Spice is your go-to for South Asian Australian culture, exploring what makes us tick—or ick.

As one of 12 Australians reconsidering a real murder case, he saw how quickly the same evidence can produce completely different interpretations of truth, reasonable doubt, and justice. He speaks to Suhayla Sharif about how his Indo-Fijian upbringing shaped his thinking and why the experience changed the way he thinks about Australia’s justice system.SBS Spice is your go-to for South Asian Australian culture, exploring what makes us tick or ick.
