00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			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.
