Blue Mist
“A good journalist doesn’t always play friendly”
Chunkyz Shisha Lounge is home away from home for Jihad, Rashid and Asif, a space where community whispers are heard, jokes are shared, and new hustles are born. But its future is under threat, having become a target for local politicians.
Aspiring journalist, Jihad wants to fight back. After winning a competition to produce his own documentary, he sets out to give voice to his community and challenge the usual stereotypes that fill the airwaves.
Will Jihad make his boys proud? Or will his dreams of becoming a journalist come at a cost too high to bear?
Olivier Award-nominated Blue Mist is a story about Muslim men navigating a system that isn’t built for them. Written by Mohamed-Zain Dada (Speed, Dizzy), directed by Milli Bhatia (seven methods of killing kylie jenner).
“an urgent, vital project” (Broadway World), ‘the comedy zings’ (The Guardian)
