New Muslim Cool

Lincoln Center's Marion Masone with Jennifer Maytorena Taylor, Kauthar Umar, Suad Abdul-Khabeer, and Zaheer Ali

After two fantastic premieres at Lincoln Center and with Rooftop Films at Museo del Barrio, we had a beautiful experience sharing the national broadcast premiere of the film with Imam Talib, Felipe Luciano, Popmaster Fabel, and many of the other wonderful folks who came to see the film together at the Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood in Harlem.  

We’ve been overwhelmed by (mostly) positive comments and look forward to constructive dialogue around some of the less positive ones.  This is what this project is all about - to get people talking to each other in our open society, so thanks to everyone who has expressed a thought or opinion.

The film is still being broadcast around the country and for a limited time can be seen online at P.O.V.’s website.  And if you like the film and would like to support our work, please go to our on-line store to pre-order a copy of the HOME VIDEO DVD.  It’s got 40 minutes of extra features and the proceeds will support our interfaith youth campus and prison screening tour later this year.
