Eaten by Lions

Omar and Pete are half brothers. When their parents are eaten by lions they embark on a journey to find Omar's real father. What follows is a funny, heart-warming journey of self-discovery for both boys...in Blackpool. The Choudray family represents a truly contemporary example of modern multicultural Britain - but what will the brothers make of their eccentric newfound family? Will they be going to Mecca or Mecca bingo? In contrast to the old fashioned stereotypes about Blackpool, the comedy is sharp, current and non-stop.

Going to Mecca

The film is a comedy short about two young brothers Pete (15) and Omar (17) who decide to go to Blackpool and scatter their dad's ashes (Pete's biological and Omar's surrogate). Once in Blackpool they decide to call round on Omar's biological father, who Omar has never met. Armed with a birth certificate, a photograph and their mum's diary extracts, the boys confront him.
