Directed by: Farah Nousheen

(55 mins) The word Nazrah is the Arabic word for Perspective. Nazrah: A Muslim Woman's Perspective is a documentary exploring the multiple personalities of a diverse group of Muslim women concerning the cultural, religious, historical, social, and political aspects of Islam and their personal identities within it. The documentary films interviews, discussions, debates, classrooms, and public events related to Islam. By creating situations in which Muslim women can freely engage in open dialogues about complex issues - such as interpreting Islam from their own unique perspectives, discussing global news central to the Islamic sphere, demanding equal rights, and questioning the misleading stereotypes of Muslim women in the Western world - the film captures a vast array of thoughts and ideas.
