The attempted coup d’etat of July 27, 1990 represents a deep rupture for the filmmaker along with many of the children who belonged to the Jamaat Al Muslimeen community. It signalled an end to life as they knew it. Nimah wrote ‘Islam island’ in January 2021 and decided to create a visual for the poem as a way to bring it to life.
