Across the world, 1.5 billion people call themselves Muslim. They represent a religion and an identity encompassing many different cultures, countries, and political stances. But Islam is also profoundly misunderstood, with a vocal, sometimes violent minority often overshadowing the silent majority of Muslims.

To break the silence and foster real understanding, Link TV presents this unprecedented collection of programming highlighting Islamic arts, culture, social issues, news and more. Through the unique lens of leading Muslim filmmakers, diverse musicians, and news organizations of the Middle East, dive in to the cultural riches and plurality of today's Muslim world.
