BRITZ (2007)

PETER KOSMINSKY

Plot

Award-winning writer and director Peter Kosminsky comes the politically charged thriller/drama Britz. The film explores Muslim life in Britain through the eyes of a brother and sister on opposite sides of the same coin: Sohail wants nothing more than to fit in with British society, while his sister Nasima finds herself increasingly alienated and victimised by the Government. Sohail's eagerness to assimilate sees him recruited by MI5 to investigate his family and friends--putting the siblings on a head-on collision course. The film's very topical and controversial subject matter is sure to spark some heated debate over Britain's anti-terror laws and 'Islamophobia'.
