Mukadderat (Fate) + Intro

Presented by Nottingham Muslim Women’s Network 

Join us for a special Eid celebration featuring Mukadderat (Fate), a heart-warming and humorous film that explores resilience, self-discovery, and the strength of women who dare to challenge cultural norms.

Set in the small Black Sea town of Cide in Kastamonu, the film follows Sultan, a grieving widow who shocks her family by announcing her decision to remarry. Facing opposition from her tradition-bound son and concern from her daughter, Sultan chooses independence on her own terms. With sharp wit and fearless determination, she steps into the male-dominated business world, inspiring other women in her community to question long-held expectations and forge new paths together. 

This screening reflects Nottingham Muslim Women’s Network’s commitment to empowering women through programmes, courses, physical activities, and social awareness events. As a charity supporting women affected by issues such as hate crime, domestic abuse, and gender-based discrimination, we create spaces that inspire confidence, connection, and growth — values powerfully echoed in this film.
