In England, the Pakistanis Yasmin lives two lives in two different worlds: in her community, she wears Muslin clothes, cooks for her father and brother, and behaves as a traditional Muslin woman. Further, she has a unconsummated marriage with the illegal immigrant Faysal to facilitate the British stamp in his passport, after which she will divorce him. In her job, she changes her clothes and dresses like a Westerner, is considered a standard employee, and has a good friend, a Caucasian, who likes her. After September 11, the prejudice in her job and the treatment of common people make her take sides and change her life.

| User ReviewDavid LEVERY MUSLIM MUST WATCH THIS FILM. The state violating you and your loved ones is hardly far away. It is, always, a mere whisper away. |
| User ReviewMarianne HExcellent movie about a Bradford-Pakistani girl and shows how 9/11 affected the lives of the people in this northern British city. |
| User Review'Shatil' SA thought-provoking and well acted film from Channel 4. Archie Punjabi is stunning in the title role and, although at times lacking subtlety, it suitably addresses topical issues within our society. |
| User ReviewAkash .A gud movie showing post 9/11 muslim life in western world! The conflict of mind and identity crisis faced by muslims is pictured elegantly. |
| User ReviewAlex SGreat film that tackles the muslim problem after 9/11 through the eyes of a female brit-born muslim. |
| User ReviewRachel NA very moving and realistic portrayal of a Muslim girl in Britain. It's a shame this film isn't commercial. Archie Panjabi is a very talented actress. She was very convincing in her role. If you enjoy independent films you might like this. |
| User ReviewBill CYes, I must be in a select minority of people who have seen "Yasmin", the film about a Islamic woman living in Scotland before and after the 9/11 attacks. It's portrayal of the hard life and racism encountered is second-to-none, but you can't help wondering: why, if this is the way Islamic people actually live, is a white person directing it? And, from that, stems certain Western ideas that creep into the narrative, and form elements that some may see as bordering on racism. |
| User ReviewRikki CGood and important and stuff. Like reading the Guardian but on a film; you automatically agree until you realise how self-righteous the undertones are. |
