Aqsa & the 40Bags (2020)

After the death of her mother, Aqsa Fatima - a young Arab, Muslim woman living in South East London, struggles with the new responsibility of caring for her six year old brother Amine. Aqsa's only solace and alone time are her daily Salats (prayers) and since her mother's passing she has adhered to them reverently, even salat al-fajr - the dawn prayer. But she is not the only resident awake at this time; her downstairs neighbor Olu cannot sleep. Anxious and alone, he is sitting on an illegal secret hidden in his flat, one that was not his to keep. When Olu's pre-dawn smoking habits seep into and disturb Aqsa's meditative solitude, she goes downstairs to confront him and is embroiled in his secret. But when her faith is tested, she must remember that she is called to help "the neighbor who is known to her, as well as the neighbor who is a stranger" (Quran 4:36). if she is to save the innocent Olu from persecution.
