Blue Mist

Chunkyz Shisha Lounge is a home away from home for Jihad, Rashid and Asif, a space where community whispers are heard, jokes are told, and new hustles are born.

But its future is under threat, having become a target for local politicians.

Aspiring journalist Jihad wants to fight back and create a documentary that challenges the usual stereotypes that fill the airwaves.

Will he be able to make his boys proud?

Or will his dreams of becoming a journalist come at too high a price?

Blue Mist is a story about South Asian Muslim men navigating a system that isn't built for them.
