Ouidad Elma has a major role in 'Atomic', an exhilarating new Sky Original series which has just completed filming in the Moroccan desert.
The 5-part drama will star Alfie Allen as free-spirited drug trafficker Max and Shazad Latif as Mohammed, a man haunted by his past who is hiding out in the desert. The two unlikely heroes become swept up in a Venezuelan cartel's plot to transport uranium across North Africa. Ouidad plays Janet, Mohammed's wife. With the fate of humanity in their backpacks, the unlikely friends grapple with a desperate choice: save themselves or save humanity?
The official synopsis reads "Atomic is an adrenaline-charged, cinematic five-episode odyssey through the labyrinthine medinas and bustling metropolises of North Africa, across inhospitable deserts and hostile borders, where Max and Mohammed - with their lively, funny and unexpected camaraderie - wonder whether some kind of atonement is possible amidst the madness."
The series is based on the non-fiction book 'Atomic Bazaar’ by Vanity Fair journalist William Langewiesche and is produced by Pulse Films in association with Sky Studios.
No release date has been announced, but it's expected to be released sometime next year.
