His perilous journey resonates with adventure while presenting an unforgettable picture of Islamic civilization during the 14th century. The film culminates with Ibn Battuta's first Hajj and dissolves into the most stunning modern day footage of the Hajj ever recorded in IMAX® with over 3 million pilgrims.

كشف : An Ode To My Sisters
Sat 26 September / 7.30pm

Summary:
Twin sisters Ferhana and Aishah have grown up with very different outlooks on life and when it comes to choosing their husbands they couldn't be more opposed. Ferhana yearns to do the right thing while her sister wants to be wildly in love; but how will their family react to their choices?

Based on real life testimonies this highly visual new production combines the touching story of Ferhana and her sisters, with live music and song to celebrate the courage, strength and spirit of Muslim Women.

Written by Azma Dar and presented by Images of Elsewhere, كشف : An Ode To My Sisters will offer a thought provoking, informative and challenging view of life for Muslim women in Britain today.

Due to the huge success of our last dinner at Ping Pong, we are would like to invite you to join us for dim sum and drinks along with another opportunity to meet and socialise with other successful professional Muslim women.
