British Fencing’s ongoing project with Maslaha called Muslim Girls Fence produced a documentary film back in 2020. ‘Nobody’s Metaphor’, produced by Chouette Films, has not been previously available for streaming online.
The film traces the experiences of four teenagers from West London as they participate in the Muslim Girls Fence initiative. Throughout the film, the girls discover in fencing coaching and poetry workshops innovative outlets to articulate their thoughts, challenging societal expectations. The narrative sheds light on the profound effects of sexism, racism, and Islamophobia.
