Pioneering Glimpses, follows Unreflected Reflections which shared and celebrated some experiences and stories of members from the Muslim community in Gloucester through film and photography.

And we are delighted that Sanjeev Bhaskar will be supporting us at the launch event. He will talking about his career and how he got started.
