Product Description

Award-winning drama about a Muslim community in the north of England, set in the time just before and just after the September 11th attacks in America. Yasmin (Archie Panjabi) is a young Muslim woman managing to walk the divide between her Islamic upbringing and her western way of life, agreeing to an arranged marriage but still engaging with the British society in which she lives. All this changes after the September 11th attacks, when Yasmin's new husband is arrested under the anti-terror laws, and she experiences abuse at work. Yasmin must campaign to free her husband while undergoing a crisis in her sense of identity. Is she a Muslim first, or British, and is it still possible to be both at once?

5.0 out of 5 starsA "must see" film.
By R. C. James on 2 Aug. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
There is much negative feeling about Britain's Moslem community, more so perhaps in recent years, following the events of 9/11. The events of that day are the starting point for what happens in this film, where one Manchester family is is radicalised by the consequences of the implementation of the 'Prevention of Terrorism' Act. The central character, Yasmin, is a young woman essentially leading a double life; living a seemingly obedient Islamic life at home with her widowed father and brother, but regularly discarding it to also live a westernised life outside it. This begins to change when the family fall victim to the activities of the local police when their home is raided by them as part of an anti-terrorist sweep of the area in which they live. What follows is a disgrace; the police behaviour and attitude towards the Moslem community beggars belief and made me, a non-Asian and non-Moslem, both embarrassed and angry at what is supposed to be British justice. If the detail in the film has any accuracy at all, I can now begin to understand what motivates people to want to fight back, by whatever means they can. After five years away from the mosque, Yasmin returns to a more traditional Islamic lifestyle; her brother leaves the UK for Pakistan and, presumably, a terrorist training camp; the poor father left totally bemused by the events going on around him.
The film is superbly made, the acting is first class, and the film itself deserves a wider audience that it has probably had to date. If you want some insight in to what living as a Moslem and Asian in the UK is really like then watch this film, but beware, if watched with an open mind it will change your outlook too!

4.0 out of 5 starsConvincing acting, somewhat disappointing story
By Dorie on 2 Mar. 2005
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Yasmin is a self-sufficient, assertive young woman, the daughter of Muslim Pakistani parents. Trying to lead the life of a mainstream British person at least on the outside, she relinquishes the hijab for modern clothes before she arrives to work, drives her own little convertible car, bought with her own money, and even dares stand up to her father. After September 11, she begins to feel a target of anti-Muslim sentiment, and some events beyond her control paradoxically lead her to a reconciliation with her religion. Archie Panjabi is utterly convincing in the lead role, and the movie is mainly worth watching for her performance. One feels an accumulating sympathy for her character. There is almost a documentary feel to the film, which tries to stay clear of taking political sides. I was somewhat disappointed with the story line, as in the latter part of the film the script seems to have given up on the idea of the protagonist's self-assertiveness, and while representing her as reconciled with both Islam and her father,the script just leaves her a much weaker woman than she was before. The film is too short both to properly consider how Yasmin would contine to function in the British social context, as well as to develop the character of Yasmin's brother, who goes off to join the war against the West.
As far as the technical side of the DVD is concerned, there is nothing to impress. The cast interviews are not proper interviews, but just a few printed pages that the viewer is to read onscreen. I found that disappointing, as I was looking forward to hearing Archie Panjabi talk about her character.

4.0 out of 5 starsSlow delivery, good condition
By The Bat on 17 Mar. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
If I remember right, delivery was slow. But it's a great, little film and I love Archie Panjabi. It's pretty short though and it would have been better if you actually saw Archie in the interview but you just have to read it. It arrived in great condition.

5.0 out of 5 starsA great study in social realism
By lzzao on 28 Mar. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Well acted, well told and well shot; about time we had story-lines like this; I've taught it to my media and film class for several years now and it always inspires thoughtful responses. I like the lingering shorts of the locals around the neighbourhood.

5.0 out of 5 starssimply brilliant
By A Customer on 7 Jan. 2006
Format: DVD
it is importnat to stand back from Hollywood from time to time and touch base with the real world. Beaufoy has achieved a superb portrayal of a real world for some, to the point where I felt I was intruding. He takes the veil off British Muslim women and reveals a world of community, family and loyalty. It is the sort of film that writers need to study and stand back and learn from. It is also deeply moving.
