How are you guys doing?

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

I am gonna be the lead actor. Very

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

interesting,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

and you don't have to wait too long.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

Why? Because this particular drama has already been

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

filmed,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

fully filmed,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

has is a fully

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

professional production with

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

over a dozen actors and a whole production

00:00:37 --> 00:00:37

team

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

is Netflix ready and it won't go on

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

Netflix. In fact, it's gonna be on this

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

very channel

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

as a reward

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

for you guys as loyal support for all

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

these years and it won't be behind a

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

pay wall. So we won't ask you to

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

pay a single penny for it and it's

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

gonna come out

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

on the 22nd

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

July, Monday 22nd July

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

7 pm, GMT, London time.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:01

You can see,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

on the screen some of the production

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

that's taken place here. What is the purpose

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

of this? What's the objective?

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

The reason why is look, you guys know

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

I've been doing social commentary for a very

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

long time. I've been doing political commentary, religious

00:01:16 --> 00:01:16

commentary,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

discussions, debating,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

you know, all these kinds of things for

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

a long time.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

About almost 10 years now actually on the

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

public.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

Or 9 years on the public, front, right,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

who've been doing these things. We thought, look,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

we need to actually level up because 1

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

of and it's been the case for millennia,

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

the best ways

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

to

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

talk about one's struggles, to make a proper

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

portrayal of let's say Muslim people struggle, ethnic

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

people struggle etcetera is through the medium of

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

story.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

Yes. Through the medium of story which is

00:01:47 --> 00:01:47

why

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

I would probably wager that the majority of

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

people

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

watch either

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

consistently or have, at least in the past,

00:01:57 --> 00:01:57

series,

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

films, etcetera.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

And so I think now it's time to

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

fight fire with fire.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

To have a proper portrayal,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

you see, of

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

like our struggles

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

in this community, in this country, etcetera.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

That's number 1. Number 2

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

is, I should probably put as a disclaimer

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

that a lot of you'll find a lot

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

of the stuff that is in this story

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

has happened to me in real life. Okay?

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

But a lot of it is dramatised because

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

you'll find there's like gang violence, this and

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

that. I don't want you to think

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

that I lived that life, you know,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

this is dramatized. A lot of it is

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

dramatized, you see. And so that's the disclaimer

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

that I had to put out there but

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

the most important thing is this is us

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

trying to level up and trying to do

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

something new for the community

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

because we've been commissioned,

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

okay, I feel like we have been commissioned

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

as influencers or

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

to to do stuff like that, to take,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

to try new things

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

and this is something that's gonna be enjoyable

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

and it's entertainment. It's pure

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

raw

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

entertainment.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

I'll say to you, look, every Monday is

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

gonna come out, 22nd July. Don't miss it.

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

Assalamu alaikum.
