Plot

Go Back To Your Country is a tense drama set during the 2024 anti-immigration riots. Starring Islah Abdur-Rahman (Man Like Mobeen), it explores identity, generational trauma, and the fight for belonging in a divided Britain.

Based on the violent anti-immigration riots following the murders in Stockport in July 2024, written and directed by Islah Abdur-Rahman, (director of 'Mandem On The Wall', 'Corner Shop Show', and 'The Halalians'). In the midst of a quiet, family-run post office, Omar and his father are going about their day when breaking news disrupts their routine. Riots, sparked by the murders in Southport 2024, rising racial tensions have erupted across the UK, making it increasingly dangerous for immigrants and those running migrant-owned businesses. Panic sets in as Omar realises their safety is no longer guaranteed. Determined to protect his father, Omar tries to rush him to safety, but their plans are interrupted by Luke, a man who approaches them with clear violent intentions. His presence forces both men to confront deeper issues-long-buried grievances and the haunting legacies of their ancestors, whose violent histories still ripple through their lives. As the situation unfolds, the film examines the complexities of identity, heritage, and the misunderstood nature of those living through these fraught moments. It's a poignant look at how people from different backgrounds can be brought together by shared struggles, and how the pain of the past can influence the choices of the present. Starring Islah Abdur-Rahman (Man Like Mobeen, Make Me Famous, Too Close, Mood, Alma's Not Normal), Jay Brown (Youngers, The Intent 2) and Jeff Mirza (What's Love Got To Do With It, Marvel's The Eternals), 'Go Back To Your Country' delivers a gripping, character-driven drama about understanding, empathy, and the weight of history.
