Yasmin background

Yasmin

A young Muslim woman living in Britain campaigns for the release of her immigrant husband from his detainment in a holding centre.

In England, a Pakistani woman named Yasmin lives two lives in two different worlds. In her community, she wears Muslim clothes, cooks for her father and brother, behaves as a traditional Muslim woman, and has an unconsummated marriage with illegal immigrant Faysal to facilitate the British stamp on his passport, after which she will divorce him. At her job, she changes her clothes and dresses like a Westerner, is considered a standard employee, and has a good Caucasian friend who likes her. After September 11, the prejudice in her job and the treatment of common people make her take sides and change her life.
