Award-winning Belgian author, screenwriter & director Ish Aït Hamou is the real deal.

His books have sold over 200K(!) copies combined. A multifaceted artist and storyteller, Ish is also widely recognised for his contributions to dance. From smash hit novels to TV shows to theatre stages to cinemas near you, his impact is always (heart)felt.

On this episode, Ish and Dominique Nzeyimana retrace the uphill journey to his just-released debut feature film ‘BXL’ - a lived-in tale of brotherhood and the rollercoaster of life set in the real Brussels - co-created with his brother Monir.

Ish talks about growing up looking for that spark of inspiration, the impact of hip-hop and other experiences that made him. The duo also get into his California days, the hidden weight of being othered & shaping your own narratives.
