BRIDES
Two teenage girls in search of freedom, friendship, and belonging run away from their lives in the UK with a dangerous plan of travelling to Syria.
Teenage best friends Doe and Muna are going on the trip of a lifetime. Quiet, watchful Doe hasn’t travelled since arriving in the UK as a refugee from Somalia at the age of three. Badass Muna of Pakistani heritage, is the dominant force, leading Doe through airport security. The girls are giddy; excited about their adventure, but as the flight is announced their mood changes. They are not going on holiday, but to Istanbul, to be met by a stranger who will take them to the border to start a new life in Syria.
Disaster strikes when their fixer doesn’t show up, but there’s no turning back now. Doe and Muna hastily forge a new plan to continue their journey alone; testing their resolve, their faith and their friendship. As we find out more about the experiences that have led them to this point, the girls get closer to the reality of what lies ahead.
