Voices of Muslim Women from the U.S South

Growing up Muslim the Southern United States

A documentary that explores the Muslim culture through the lens of five University of Alabama Muslim students. The film tackles how Muslim women carve a space for self-expression in the Deep South and how they negotiate their identities in a predominantly Christian society that often has unflattering views about Islam and Muslims.

Through interviews with students and faculty, this film examines representations and issues of agency by asking: How do Muslim female students exist in a culture that thinks of Muslims as terrorists and Muslim women as backward?
