WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR SON IS ACCUSED OF BEING A TERRORIST?
YOU SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH.
Sri Lanka, 2019. Aisha Hamid has spent her Ife holding her family together. Born Malay and married into a traditional Muslim household, she balances the demands of motherhood,
an absent husband, and two very different children.
Then, the Easter Sunday bombings shatter the country.
In the chaos that follows, her son Aqib disappears. As suspicion, fear, and political opportunism sweep through the nation, Aisha is forced into a desperate search for answers. But the deeper she digs, the more she uncovers secrets that threaten everything she believes about her family, her community, and herself.
Set against one of Sri Lanka's darkest moments, Talking to the Sky is a powerful story of love, betrayal, faith, and a mother's determination to uncover the truth when the whole world seems determined to hide it.
