An Act of Terror

Synopsis

Police raid a Glaswegian Asian household. The son, Ali is arrested on suspicion of terrorism. Between cops, hacks, mullahs and militants, the Malik family’s world descends into nightmare. Yet not everybody is an enemy. Fast-paced, topical and thought-provoking, this is the first-ever feature film made by the South Asian diaspora in Scotland. A night of darkness.
 
An Act of Terror was nominated for a BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award 2009 in the 'Best Producer' Category.
