Women In Black

Episode 5: Holland

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Scotland

Amani Zain makes her first trip to the Netherlands and hooks up with Bad Brya, a Dutch rapper of Moroccan origin who addresses issues from peace in the Middle East to women and Islam in her lyrics. She 'makes over' Amani as a B girl. Amani flicks through MSLM magazine, the cool one off Muslim fashion magazine, and visits the set of Bimbo's and Boerka's - a Dutch TV show which is co-hosted by the Halal girls - three hijabi sisters from a conservative Moroccan family.

She meets a doctor who performs fifty hymen reconstructions a year on young Muslim girls desperate to appear as virgins on their wedding night.

Her happiest moment is a Dutch Moroccan wedding where a 'negaffa' - wedding stylist - orchestrates up to five changes of bridal outfit on the big day. Show less
