One of BBC iPlayer's first Original Drama Shorts, My Jihad, returns as a series. This tender and funny love story, set in contemporary Britain, explores the unfolding relationship between a young Muslim couple across three further episodes. Can a chance meeting on a bus turn into something more meaningful? Can they put aside their prejudices and persuade themselves and their families that they could have a future? Or are there just too many obstacles to overcome?
