Four Lions
We are four Lions.
Directed by Chris Morris
Produced by Film4 Productions, Wild Bunch
A darkly comic satire that treats jihadist extremism as a tragicomic farce of incompetence and ideological confusion, balancing sharp social critique with genuine emotional engagement.
Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce.
