Are they not young to play a mum of 2? Or maybe she was young, IDK.

Either way I imagine this film will trigger a lot of Islamophobia. I also can't believe 7/7 was nearly 20 years ago. I remember it so vividly.

The 7/7 bombing happened when she was 22, Bella is almost 21.

Damn I thought Bella was like 16.

I remember I was in my flat at Seven Sisters with my bf at the time. I remember my mum calling at the end of the day saying she'd been trying for hours but the phones were busy

Yeah I remember trying to get hold of my friends in London and the phonelines were just jammed.
