UnMosqued Movie Premiere
Monday, March 24th @7:15 PM #Rosenthal
UnMosqued is a documentary film that focuses on the need for reform in many of our mosques in America.The film follows the story of a group of people who are unhappy with the status quo at their mosque and decide to reform it by trying to get elected onto the leadership. The film discusses women and the spaces they occupy, converts and the new struggles they face, mosque stewardship, and some of the third spaces that have emerged in reaction to the situation in the mosque. Based on statistics found in the Mosque Studies of 2011, UnMosqued aims to be a conversation starter for communities that wish to better their mosques.
After the film we will have a panel discussion with the Director and some influential people in the film.
