During the COVID-19 Lockdown in the UK, Iyad was invited to contribute to the BBC Arabic documentary ‘London Lockdown’. Iyad took part as a character and recorded the soundtrack for the film.

‘London Lockdown’ follows a group of Arabs from different backgrounds responding to the coronavirus crisis in London. It follows six characters from the early days of lockdown until Eid, at the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The film shows how they make great efforts to support the community around them as they struggle with the total upheaval of their lives under the impact of Covid-19. Some provide food, practical assistance, entertainment or emotional support, while others continue to do dangerous frontline jobs in the NHS and public transport.
