Synopsis
Lost Warrior is the story about Mohammed, a young Somali man who grew up in England. At the age of 19, he is deported to Somalia and recruited by Al- Shabab. When Mohammed realises that Al-Shabab’s ‘freedom’ fight mostly targets innocent civilians, he regrets his decision and escapes.
The film is about the consequences of making the wrong decision. Mohammed is now stuck in a country he does not know and has no legal status in. Furthermore, he is not allowed to return to England – despite the fact that he is married to, and has a child with, Fathi, who is a British citizen. Mohammed misses Fathi, who went back to England where she gave birth to his son. Mohammed has never met his son – and his biggest dream is to leave the mistakes of his youth behind and live a normal life. But is that even a possibility, what options does he have?
