On the morning of July 7th 2005, Mikkel H. Eriksen found himself on the underground train that was blown up at Edgware Road Station during the terror attacks on London. That day, four young Muslims killed themselves and took 52 people with them. Mikkel walked away unharmed, and decided to turn his experience and all the questions that followed into a constructive exploration of how young muslims' everyday lives in London had been affected after the attacks.

In 2003, the Danish artist Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen was in Sharja, U.A.E. and was instantly fascinated by the country's firm belief in progress. Two years later he is back to try to find out if there is anything else to Dubai and Sharja than endless rows of shopping malls, skyscrapers, an exploited workforce and non-existent history.
