Yasmin

Directed by Kenny Glenaan

Written by Simon (FULL MONTY) Beaufoy, YASMIN is a superb, hard-hitting exposé of the effects of 9/11 on Muslim lives in Yorkshire. Developed out of workshops with local Muslim communities, it tells the story of an independent British Muslim woman caught in a nightmare when her Pakistani-born husband is falsely imprisoned as a terrorist. YASMIN will be preceded by Gurinder Chadha’s witty 1989 documentary short I’m British But (10 mins).Director Kenny Glenaan will be available for Q&A after this screening.
