The Rebirth of Finsbury Mosque Part 1

This is a short student documentary film done on the new administration of the North London Central Mosque in Finsbury Park, London. We had heard stories of the dramatic, positive turnaround the mosque had experienced, and decided it would make for an interesting interview.

This film was made during the Film in Britain 2008 Study Abroad program through Michigan State University. It was made by Carol Baldwin, Catrice Canty-Pope, and Gregg Gaddy of Michigan State University, and Jacqueline Reifel of Arizona State University.

The interviewees are Imam Ahmed Saad and Faisal Dilmi (NLC Mosque's Youth Coordinator). We're grateful for their kindness and willingness to participate in our documentary despite short notice.

I hope that such thinking, responsible Muslims will take the lead more and more in years to come. The Islamic faith has been through a difficult and dark period. It will recover, to the spiritual benefit of the Muslim community, and that of the the wider human community of which it is an integral part.
