Turbulence

Beschreibung

This introspective tale charts the bumpy journey of a young Muslim woman navigating faith and feminism. Aspiring documentary-maker Dunya Dawood had exciting plans for her career, until she fell in love. Pregnant and on a flight to New York a decade later, she is upgraded to business class and separated from her husband and son. Away, for once, from her life of domesticity in the Middle East, she reflects on the choices and relationships that led her down a trajectory she never meant to take. When a shocking discovery sends her into labour mid-air, Dunya is forced to make the most difficult decision of all. How do you manage the precarious balance between culture, faith, ambition, family obligations and feminism? And what happens when you hit a little turbulence?
