Lost Warrior

Film Screening and Discussion with Directors and Panel

Lost Warrior follows Al-Shabaab-regretter, Mohammed, who was recruited at a young age by the terrororganisation Al-Shabaab back in England. After finding out, what the terrororganisation was really about, he deserted Al-Shabaab and is now living underground in Mogadishu with no papers. He wants to escape Somalia and unite with his young wife Fathi and son Yassir back in England. Before Al-Sahaab finds him and kills him.

This is the story about a London-Somali family’s love in a globalised and conflict-ridden world. It takes place in Mogadishu, London and Nairobi but it could have taken place anywhere. In the end, Mohammed, Fathi and their families are left with an all-encompassing fear: Will these same conditions determine the life of their 2-year-old son, Yassir?
