In the
Synopsis of
this documentary, the director says that she hopes this
documentary "...can serve as a springboard to increase and
deepen community awareness of people of different religious and
cultural backgrounds."
She also notes: “I believe in the power of storytelling
to change minds and pre-conceived notions and to grow an
understanding of the world around us.”
“The topic of Islam and Muslims in America is fraught with
emotions, fueled by the post 9/11 media frenzy and the negative
stereotyping of Muslims, both in the news and in entertainment
in general. In contrast, Abraham’s Children gives a
non-judgmental, apolitical presentation of real stories of
Muslim children in America.”We look forward to seeing
many members at this screening! |
