ABOUT MOOZ-LUM


Pulled between his strict Muslim upbringing by his father and the normal social life he's never had, Tariq Mahdi (Evan Ross) enters college in a state of confusion. New relationships with Muslims and non-Muslims alike challenge his already shaken ideals, and the estrangement with his mother and sister troubles him. With the help of new friends, family and mentors, he begins to find himself and open up to an Islam he hasn't been exposed to. But when the attacks of 9/11 happen without warning, he is forced to face his past and make the biggest decisions of his life.


Written and directed by Qasim Basir, Mooz-lum is one of the first-ever American feature films depicting the life of a young Muslim-American. The all-star cast includes: Danny Glover (Dreamgirls, The Color Purple), Nia Long (Are We There Yet, Love Jones), Roger Guenveur Smith (American Gangster, Do The Right Thing), Summer Bishil (The Last Airbender, Towelhead) and Evan Ross (ATL, Pride).

Great work and very apt.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I would be very interested to see how Evan Ross did. It looks very interesting and thought-provoking. I know there are many people from different cultures here in America who have the same issue. On one hand they want to remain loyal to the customs of their homeland. Yet on the other hand, they want to be a part of American society. I hope they release it everywhere.

@3:42 Maryam Basir What a beautiful dark -skinned girl. It's rare to see women with her complexion in a positive role. I hope this opens the door to much greater work.

I really really like Roger Guenveur Smith. I've always like him. He's so underrated!
