Show PBS Films about Muslims to Promote Peace and Dialogue

UPF films have been screened thousands of time across the country and shown to increase understanding by engaging audiences in meaningful dialogue about issues involving Muslims and their relations with people of other faiths and societies.

UPF's Award Winning PBS Films include Prince Among Slaves, which tells the story of an African Muslim Prince enslaved in Mississippi, Enemy of the Reich, about a Muslim woman who fought the Nazi’s during World War II, Allah Made Me Funny, about three hilarious Muslim comics, and other films Islamic Art, and others. Narrators for these films include Mos Def, Andre Braugher, Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren, and other prominent actors.

Screenings can be organized in classrooms, at local movie houses, libraries, universities and houses of worship. You can request a DVD of any of our 10 films and/or stream the film from our website to your group.

On a Wing and a Prayer: An American Muslim Learns to Fly helps remove some of the clichés about the alleged strangeness of Muslims and points to their successful assimilation into American life.

When fear takes over, communication stops, that’s why Inside Islam is such an important film, and why the extensive surveys conducted by the Gallup organization are so worthwhile.

Talking Through Walls: How the Struggle to Build a Mosque Unites a Community helped my students get a better sense of the issues that this population has faced post-9/11 and it gave them an opportunity to evaluate their treatment with regards to their own conceptions of what is fair and of democracy.
