Britz

Sohail is an ambitious young Muslim Brit. His desire to assimilate into every aspect of contemporary British culture sees him driven into the open arms of MI5 where his first assignment is to track down a terrorist cell linked to the July 7th London bombers. The enquiry leads him back to his own community in Bradford where no one, not even his closest friends, is above suspicion. Unsure if he is being used to entrap his own, Sohail is forced to question where his loyalties really lie, with the Pakistani Muslim community or with the country of his birth, England.
Unlike her brother, Naseema, a medical student, is deeply suspicious of the British establishment and spends much of her time campaigning against repressive government policies. The turning point is when her best friend kills herself after being abused while under arrest for innocently falling foul of the new anti-terror laws. She is feeling so angry at and estranged from the country of her birth, that she embarks on an extraordinary journey that eventually take her to a terrorist training camp in north-west Pakistan.
