About Polite Society + Q&A
16 year-old Ria Khan (Priya Kansara) has two goals - to become a stuntwoman just like her shero, Eunice Huthart, and to stop her older sister Lena (Ritu Arya) from marrying an all too suspicious surgeon and mama’s boy, Salim. With the help of her best friends, Ria sets out to investigate Lena’s soon to be mother-in-law (Nimra Bucha), and pull off her first ever wedding heist in hopes of reminding her sister of the path she’s truly meant to take.
The screening will be followed by a live captioned Q&A with stunt performer Ayesha Hussain and actor Nimra Bucha (Queen of My Dreams / Ms Marvel).
