Yasmin is a compelling drama set amongst a Muslim community in the North of England before and after the events of 9/11. Yasmin is a spirited woman balancing the freedoms of western living with traditional Pakistani family life and an arranged a marriage. But after the shocking events of 9/11 she witnesses the draconian rules of the Anti-terrorism Act. The injustice of police treatment of her husband forces her to re-evaluate her faith and her identity.

This event is now FREE for Anglia Ruskin students and staff.
