The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Director Asma Kabadeh and cinematographer Darshan Gajjar tell the story of Halima, the first Somali woman in Sheffield, through the eyes of Najma, a researcher who moved to the city from Somalia at eleven. Najma discovers Halima’s short storybook in the Sheffield Library and attempts to fill in the gaps by exploring the contradictions and omissions of what Halima recorded of her life.
