Description
From Jewish filmmaker Joshua Seftel, The Secret Life of Muslims is an Emmy- and Peabody-nominated series of short first-person films that use humor and empathy to dispell stereotypes about Muslim Americans. The first season featured the likes of author Reza Aslan, Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, comedian Ahmed Ahmed, and NYPD Chaplain Khalid Latif sharing personal stories about their lives—and garnered 35 million views. With its second season, the multi-faith production is looking to shine an even brighter light on this diverse community of Americans.
