Upcoming: What’s Love Got to Do With It - on Tuesday, September 26, 2023 at 7:00 pm

For Zoe's childhood friend and neighbour, the answer is to follow his parents' example and opt for an "assisted" (arranged) marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.
