Riz Ahmed, Nigel Lindsay, Will Adamsdale
This apolitical funny story illuminating modern jihadism through the medium of farce, follows four men living in a UK city who have a secret plan.
Omar (Riz Ahmed) is disillusioned about the treatment of Muslims around the world and is determined to become a
soldier. This is the most exciting idea Waj (Kayvan Novak) has ever heard, and it's a no brainer because Omar does his thinking for him. Opposed to Omar and everyone else on earth is the white Islamic convert Barry (Nigel Lindsay). Faisal (Adeel Akhtar) is the odd man out. He can make a bomb, but he can't blow himself up just now as his sick dad has 'started eating newspaper'. Instead he's training crows to fly bombs through windows.
This is what Omar has to deal with.
