Tickets: http://laemmle.com/film/brides | Subscribe: http://bit.ly/3b8JTym | Nadia Fall's compelling debut feature offers a powerful and empathetic look into the lives of two alienated teenage girls, Doe and Muna, who leave the U.K. for Syria in search of purpose and belonging. By humanizing its protagonists and exploring the complex interplay of vulnerability, societal pressures, and digital manipulation, BRIDES challenges simplistic explanations of radicalization.
