Piece of Silk

Work:: Piece of Silk (S0533116183)

Shaz has 1,212 . . . 1,213 followers on Vimeo, 'Shaggytales'. Sister Dunya drums, shouts but doesn't leave the house. They've never met their older brother from overseas, who comes to keep an eye on them while mum's away. He has only their best interests at heart. So why do they fear for their lives? Inspired by The Arabian Nights and drawing on the shocking stories of women survivors of domestic violence, Piece of Silk proves definitively that 'story-telling is a matter of life and death'.
