Film Description

This short documents the lives of three very different American Muslims in their lives. Maryam has a unique life; she plays basketball in high school. Idris is a cab driver, but receives a LOT of strange questions. Naseir is an Afghan born in Wyoming, and works as a Financial Advisor. While some of their stories may seem common, the experiences they have being American Muslims make them unique. This short illustrates the most common and unique attributes and obstacles of being an American Muslim in America in a comedic way. Have you ever have difficulty explaining halaal to someone? Or that you can't eat pork for religious reasons? Try just telling them you're allergic! Simple!
