Dir: Chris Morris
Starring: Riz Ahmed and Nigel Lindsay

A group of radicalised young British Muslim men aspire to be suicide bombers

Heard of the phrase laugh in the face of adversity? Well, this satirical black comedy about a group of homegrown terriorist jihadis does just that. The film is a jihad satire that will not be to everyone’s liking, but it is a smart movie that is very real in the aspects it portrays. The film was largely shot in Sheffield and we are treated to a couple of brief glimpses of Sheffield Supertrams running along Park Grange Road in the Arbourthorne district of the city. There are also a couple of brief shots of Riz Ahmed onboard a tram, plus a shot of him walking along the footbridge of Meadowhall Interchange station. Finally, the climax of the film is centered around the London marathon and there is an aerial view of the entrance to Bermondsey Underground station.

As fireworks explode over the city of Sheffield, a Supertram works a blue route service to Malin Bridge. This is a view looking down Park Grange Road.
