Somali Kitchen Bristol return to Stroud Film Festival to present a film inspired by real-life events. Brides follows two alienated British Muslim teenagers, Doe and Muna, who leave the UK for Syria in search of belonging, freedom, and purpose. Instead of offering a simplistic tale of radicalisation, the film delivers a deeply empathetic and complex portrait of girlhood, friendship, and alienation in Britain. Somali Kitchen will introduce the film and will be sharing some of their delicious food.
Followed by Q&A with Somali Kitchen.
