Synopsis

Documentary.

Comedienne Ayesha Hazarika is a bacon sarnie-munching, wine-swilling Muslim who has never fasted during Ramadan. In this off-beat film, documentary director Irshad Ashraf challenges her to fast and introduces her to some moderate Muslims who observe Ramadan. Will Ayesha's journey with Irshad change her - and will she be able to stick to her fast?

The programme intercuts live performance with Ayesha's journey of discovery.
