In this standout, award-winning BBC documentary, rapper and TV chef Big Zuu embarks on a deeply personal journey to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah — a pilgrimage to Mecca. Stepping away from his usual on-screen persona, Zuu reflects on his faith, his upbringing, and the challenges of balancing a Western lifestyle with his Muslim identity.

The film explores the duality many second-generation Brits experience — navigating modern life while staying connected to cultural and religious roots. Blending humour, vulnerability, and powerful storytelling, it offers a fresh, intimate perspective on spirituality, self-discovery, and what it means to belong.
