Documentary following five girls as they embrace Islam. Shanna Bukhari sets out to find out why more young British women are giving up partying and drinking to become Muslims.

Growing numbers of young British women are converting to Islam. Shanna Bukhari, a 26-year-old Muslim from Manchester, sets out to find out why girls are giving up partying, drinking and wearing whatever they want, for a religion some people associate with the oppression of women. 

This warm documentary follows the highs and lows of five girls as they embrace their new faith. From adapting to a religion that allows a man to marry up to four wives to the acceptance of friends and family, it isn't always easy.
