For South Asian Heritage Month We Are Survivors are screening Of Gods Men by British-Pakistani writer and director Waheed Iqbal. Waheed will be attending and offering a Q and A after the film to provide an insight into the film. Everyone is welcome.
Waheed comments. "I just wanted to show a normal story, with just Muslim Pakistani people. This story is one where the characters could have been played by anyone of any background, and it wouldn't have made a difference.'
About the film:
'After cutting short an attempt at suicide, Saif turns to religion to fill the emptiness surrounding him. To completely avoid relapsing, he is told he must be in the presence of a carer given his current state of mind, forcing Saif to move in with his troublesome brother, Ameen. Constantly in each other’s company, the opposing views and contrasting goals escalate to the point where each brother is forced to confront themselves in ways that question their individual purpose, and whether they are prepared for the consequences of their actions.'
