The travel ban sent a chilling message throughout America: Muslims are not welcome here. An Act of Worship begins with travel ban protests in airports across the country, then moves to mosques, community centers, and homes, where the urgency to address Islamophobia is becoming more and more palpable. Our story depicts the everyday lives of Muslim women activists across the U.S. as they forge new ways to confront the current political climate and provides an up-close look at a new generation’s attempt to take back control of its own narrative despite decades-long efforts to marginalize and criminalize them.
An Act of Worship participated in the 2018 Diversity Fellows Initiative (past program) and is a participant of the 2019 (Egg)celerator Lab.
