GIVE ME YOUR TIREDYOUR POORYOUR WRETCHED MASSES YEARNING TO BE FREE. THOSE ARE THE WELCOMING WORDS OF LADY LIBERTY INVITING ALL TO THE SHORES OF AMERICA WHO ARE HARD-WORKING, THIRSTY FOR EDUCATION, AND WILLING TO EMBRACE THE AMERICAN CIVIC AND PATRIOTIC VALUES. THOSE, BY THE WAY, ARE THE WORDS OF OUR ESTEEMED GUEST TODAY - AMBASSADOR AKBAR AHMED, A PAKISTANI ANTHROPOLOGIST, WHO ALONG WITH TWO OF HIS FORMER STUDENTS FROM AMERICAN UNIVERSITY YOUNG AMBASSADORS THEMSELVES WHO WITH VIDEO CAMERAS IN THEIR HANDS, TOOK A NINE-MONTH ROAD TRIP ACROSS AMERICA VISITING OVER 70 CITIES AND 100 MOSQUES.

IN THE END WHAT THEY PRODUCED WAS A GROUND-BREAKING DOCUMENTARY THAT INTRODUCES VIEWERS TO A WIDE SWATH OF MUSLIM COMMUNITIES SCATTERD ALL ACROSS THE U.S.-THAT ARE PART OF THE AMERICAN MUSLIM TAPESTRY AND SOME MOSQUES THAT HAVE BEEN FOR GENERATIONS.
THE FILM REVEALS THAT: THE-RECOGNITION-OF-THE HUMANITY-OF-OTHERS IS KEY TO A CIVILIZED SOCIETY.
