One Day in Whitechapel (13 mins)
Two teenagers start their day on the opposite sides of the barricades during a racist demonstration in Whitechapel, East London. When Sam watches her friends beat a young skinhead, instead of joining the fight, she saves the boy. An unlikely friendship sparks when the two teenagers are stuck in a shed hiding from threats outside.
Sandstorm (20mins)
Synopsis (no longer than 50 words): Zara, a schoolgirl in Karachi, shares a sensual dance video with her virtual boyfriend, who then blackmails her. Caught between his manipulative behaviour and the desire to experience love on her own terms, Zara searches for the strength to reject the confines of a patriarchal society.
Followed by Q&A with director Seemab Gul.
Part of Tower Hamlets South Asian Heritage Month, in partnership with Queen Mary University of London.
