The drama about a Britis­h Pakist­ani family will stretc­h across three genera­tions and multip­le decade­sPakistani-British actor Riz Ahmed has joined hands with the BBC, which has ordered a nine-part documentary series, Englistan, that will tell a tale of three generations of a British Pakistani family, reported The Hollywood Reporter. Englistan is based on a British Pakistani family, the Latifs: Jamal and Fatima, their children Ashraf, Razia and Asim, and their grandchildren Zahed, Naseem and Ayesha. But at the core is the story of a family and the questions they are forced to ask about whether ‘home’ is a country or a community. “I’m excited to be working with BBC Studios executive producer, Esther Springer and all the team at BBC Studios,” said Ahmed. New writing, massive canvas, the biggest issues; it is a perfect drama for BBC Two,” said Patrick Holland, Controller of BBC Two.
