“Ish” Spotlights Impact of Police Stop and Search on British Muslim Boys’ Friendship

The story of two best friends who are broken apart after a 'stop and search' operation by British police officers, is the subject of a new film, 'Ish', by first time feature director Imran Perretta. 'Ish,' which won a British Independent Film Award, is set in the town of Luton, shot in black and white, and stars two first time actors. It's now coming to UK cinemas, and as Tom Brook reports, shines a spotlight on the British Muslim community, historically under-represented in cinema.
