About this Event
UK Muslim Film in partnership with BFI Inclusion, will be hosting an exclusive screening of feature documentary - 'Comin' Up Short' which marks the 50th anniversary of hip hop.
'Comin' up Short' is the true story about Jerome 'Shorty' Muhammad, a member of “Da Lench Mob," one of the most controversial platinum and gold rap recording groups of all time led by Ice Cube.
Shorty went from forming a notorious deadly street gang in South Central at the age of 11, to becoming one of the most feared Gang Bangers in Los Angeles. After being released from Pr*son, he became Ice Cube's personal protection against the threats from Cube's former group N.W.A. (Eazy E, Dr. Dre, Jerry Heller).
Shorty's sole testimony is a colorful monologue that recants verified true life stories about robbery, drug dealing, attempted M**der, and imprisonment to finding his purpose through gang intervention and embracing Islam.
This special event will be showcasing US based filmmakers Hakeem Khaaliq and Queen Muhammad Ali who will be participating in a Q&A hosted by Sajid Varda (Founder of UK Muslim `Film).
