Expiation

Family, forgiveness and blasphemy in Bradford

Jimmy is seeking salvation. And he's willing to pay.

Estranged from his family and ostracised from his community after committing adultery, Jimmy hopes that funding a new mosque for an intense, young imam will provide his redemption. But a shocking revelation on his son's birthday, coupled with a series of increasingly disturbing visions, derail Jimmy's plan and push him closer to the edge.

Oz Arshad's short is a playfully provocative portrait of a family grappling with with faith, intolerance and hypocrisy in Bradford.
