This entertaining, and controversial, satire tells the story of four would-be jihadists who live in Sheffield and who collectively decide to become suicide bombers. Omaj and Waj attend a terrorist training camp in Pakistan while Barry and Faisal take a different approach and attempt to train crows as bombers. The film culminates in the four ideologically confused men trying to blow themselves up at the London Marathon. With great acting and superb writing, the film pulls off the difficult balancing act of constructing a comedy about terrorism without undermining the serious nature of its subject matter.
