Slam
Overview
Ricky is a young Arab Australian whose peaceful suburban life is turned on its head when his sister, Ameena, disappears without trace. In a climate of distrust and xenophobia, she is soon suspected of having joined the ranks of ISIS in Syria. In a ‘post-facts’ world, Ricky no longer knows who to believe, his sense of what’s right or the 24 hour media cycle of spin.

SWITCH. (Rated: 7)
Over the film’s tight running time, characterisation and storyline unspool at an unhurried pace which, when coupled with some darkly elegant cinematography, expert utilisation of colour and excellent performances by the two leads, ensure ‘Slam’ is never less than compelling and through-provoking vie...
