Synopsis
With action set in Pakistan, Eastern Europe, London and Leeds, both feature-length episodes detail a tragic sequence of events from two distinct perspectives. At the heart of this thought-provoking drama is a revealing examination of British Muslim life under current anti-terror legislation. Britz ultimately asks whether the laws we think are making us safer, are actually putting us in greater danger.

Written and directed by the acclaimed Peter Kosminsky - BAFTA-winner for The Government Inspector and helmer of Wuthering Heights (1992) and White Oleander (2002).

Facts: According to the Director General of the Security Service MI5, The 7/7 suicide bombers were motivated by a sense of injustice faced by Muslims in Britain and throughout the world; 36 Justice bills, six anti-terror bills and five asylum and immigration bills have been introduced in Britain since 1997. Many young Muslims feel this legislation is aimed directly at them; "I have a horrible feeling that we are sinking into a police state..." - George Churchill Coleman, Former Head of Scotland Yard's Anti-Terrorist Unit.
