Description:
They don't want to be tolerated...they want to be respected! Recent demographic studies show that most Muslim Americans are highly educated, are American citizens and are registered to vote! Despite these factors, which generally command respect in society, recent polls show that the majority of the 7 million Muslims in America have experienced some form of bias or prejudice after 9/11. Moreover, the media rarely focuses on the millions of Muslim Americans that serve this country as doctors, engineers, lawyers, computer engineers, and a host of other professions that contribute to American society and the world. The entertainment industry rarely shows the millions of Muslim American heroes that have earned the respect of their fellow citizens. They treat our ill, teach our Children, police our streets, prosecute our criminals and provide a host of other contributions to our society that simply go unrecognized. This unique film challenges the typical image of Muslims in America, by following a Muslim American doctor and teacher in a post-9-11 world. It looks at their everyday lives, as well as interactions with their families, friends and colleagues, sharing startling and often funny insights into what it means to be a Muslim American. Probably won't win at the Oscars but might have a bigger impact than any film out there."~ CBS 2 - New York.
