Zahra's New World

Zahra’s New World is a comedic drama about Zahra, a devout Saudi, who comes to Southern California to study and ends up sharing an apartment with Jenna, a 20-year-old Orange County Christian student. Jenna and Zahra have two funny neighbors - Shirin, an Iranian wanna-be actress, and Yafa, a Palestinian who has started to go to church with Jenna. With pressures from family back home and the adjustment to a new culture, every day has its share of laughs and challenges. 

We are excited for you to explore the cross-cultural world of these women and in their stories see experiences to which you may be able to relate. There are so many misconceptions about different cultures and religions in the world today, especially those that divide East and West. Through this web-series and the online community that will come as a result of it, we invite you to join an ongoing conversation where understanding and truth can be safely explored.

Let’s all, like Zahra, journey and learn together.
