Videoline: The Muslim Experience in Minnesota
Islamic Resource Group of Minnesota |
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
This film, produced by the
Islamic Resource Group of Minnesota, puts very human and very recognizable faces on Minnesota's diverse and growing Muslim community. Muslims born and raised in Somalia, Iraq, South Africa--but also Shakopee and Chaska, Minneapolis and Chicago--share their stories, their ambitions, and their hopes. Entrepreneurs, a corporate VP, a cop, a Japanese-American convert and his Euro-American wife ("I'm as Lake Wobegon as one gets"), and many others fill out a picture of a faith community that is a strong element in the midwestern--and American--mosaic.
