Invited to a Besna (Parsi Event), sisters twin sisters Maya and Lila must navigate and confront their differences.

A grommet, in surf lexicon, stands for a surfing newbie, usually a younger person. The Granny Grommets, however, are claiming the term for themselves, ignoring the looming threats of sharks and concerns of their worried offspring to embrace the waves, with bodyboards in tow. The group, based in the coastal town of Albany in Western Australia, was formed in 1999 and has been growing from strength to strength ever since. To date there are nearly 90 members taking to the waves every Friday morning, come rain or shine.

The Amnesty International UK explores the human stories behind protest and the growing pressures faced by protesters in the UK today.
