The idea
Being Bilal followed Bilal Hassam’s life and community activity in an unscripted British Muslim television series. I contributed to its production, working behind the scenes on a format rooted in real people and situations.

The creative approach
Al Arabiya’s September 2015 coverage describes the programme’s relationship to British Muslim identity and community life. The Light Within also featured in the programme, connecting my work on the short film with this television project.

My contribution
I contributed behind the scenes to the production of an unscripted series rooted in British Muslim life. The Light Within, on which I worked as production manager, also appeared in the programme, connecting two strands of my screen work.
