Rip it Up – Mogul Mowgli

Zed (Riz Ahmed) is a British‑Pakistani rapper on the brink of stardom is struck down by a degenerative autoimmune disease, forcing him to confront his health, identity, and family ties while fighting to keep his music career alive.

The event will feature performances by spoken work artist Elijah Brown and friends.
This event is part of A vibrant mini‑season exploring youth culture, identity and expression in the UK, hosted at Stretford Public Hall.

Each screening becomes a social, intergenerational event, pairing well‑known and contemporary films with light‑touch, youth‑led activity.

Audiences can take part in creative wraparound elements including a zine‑making station, discussions, a post‑film DJ set, and a filmmaking workshop.

With affordable tickets for under‑25s, the programme is designed to be welcoming, low‑cost and accessible, creating space for younger voices while bringing people together through film, conversation and shared experience.

This Project is supported by Film Hub North with National Lottery Funding on behalf of BFI Film Audience Network
