Brides

Hope is radical. So is friendship.

Teenage best friends Doe and Muna are heading off on what seems like the trip of a lifetime. Quiet, observant Doe hasn’t travelled since arriving in the UK as a Somali refugee aged three. Muna, sharp and fearless with Pakistani roots, leads them through airport security and into the unknown. But this isn’t a holiday. The girls are bound for Istanbul, planning to cross into Syria to begin a new life they believe holds purpose and meaning. When their fixer fails to appear, panic sets in, but turning back isn’t an option. Alone in a foreign city, they must improvise fast, pushing the limits of their courage, their faith, and their friendship.

    Two disillusioned British girls find themselves flying from London to Istanbul where they are to meet someone who will take them on to war torn Syria. Sadly for them, things at the Bean Kafe don’t go quite to plan and they have to improvise, think on their feet, and make their own way to their destination.
