DESCRIPTION:
 Movie screening and discussion with the creators\n
 \n
 A 
 documentary film on Muslim American voices 
 in the 21st century by Salah D. Hassan 
 and Swarnavel Pillai\n
 (56 minutes)\n
 \n
 From October 
 2011 to May 2012, a series of public performances 
 were held in Michigan to explore the 
 different ways that Muslims in the U.S. have 
 negotiated the relationship between their 
 faith and society. The result was an extended 
 dialogue with Muslim-Americans on a range of 
 issues, from the wearing of a hijab to the making 
 of hip-hop music. These young Muslim-Americans 
 challenge Islamophobia and pose questions 
 to Muslim communities. "Migrations of Islam" 
 is a documentary film that includes clips 
 from the public performances and interviews 
 with students, artists and experts to present 
 the different ways that young Muslims in the 
 United States have positioned themselves against 
 the extremes of anti-Muslim rhetoric and 
 conservative religious traditions, showing 
 the different ways that contemporary forms of 
 Islam are finding expression in the words, images 
 and actions of Americans.\n
