 Ours are the Streets centres on Imtiaz, an immigrant living in Britain. He is disillusioned with the immigrant dream, suffering from a sense of failure and not belonging. A trip to Pakistan after his father’s death leads to his radicalisation. In addition he possibly suffers from mental health issues including depression. A sad, unsettling and thought provoking read.
