CARERS & BABIES: BRIDES
<b>This performance is exclusive to our <a href="https://actonecinema.co.uk/carers--babies-club" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CARERS & BABIES CLUB</a>. You must have at least one baby in your party aged 0-12 months old. </b> Two fifteen-year-old girls attempt to travel to Syria in this compassionate and thought-provoking road film by acclaimed theatre director and playwright Nadia Fall. Best friends Doe and Muna experience a constant barrage of racism and bullying at school, alongside tumultuous home lives. But through it all they have each other. Disillusioned and desperate to forge their own paths, they set out a long and risky cross-country journey... Quiet, observant Doe hasn’t travelled since arriving in the UK as a Somali refugee aged three. Muna, sharp and fearless with Pakistani roots, leads them through airport security and into the unknown. But this isn’t a holiday. The girls are bound for Istanbul, planning to cross into Syria to begin a new life they believe holds purpose and meaning. When their fixer fails to appear, panic sets in, but turning back isn’t an option... Brides is a bold, emotionally charged coming-of-age drama exploring the paths young British Muslim girls navigate in search of identity and belonging. Told with compassion and urgency, it’s a gripping story of loyalty, lost innocence, and the quiet desperation that drives radical choices. Newcomers Ebada Hassan and Safiyya Ingar are outstanding, offering layered and truthful performances that convincingly convey an authentic friendship dynamic.DramaPT1H33M152025-10-07Ebada Hassan
