Show PBS Films about Muslims to Promote Peace and Dialogue

UPF films have been screened thousands of time across the country and shown to increase understanding by engaging audiences in meaningful dialogue about issues involving Muslims and their relations with people of other faiths and societies.

UPF's Award Winning PBS Films include Prince Among Slaves, which tells the story of an African Muslim Prince enslaved in Mississippi, Enemy of the Reich, about a Muslim woman who fought the Nazi’s during World War II, Allah Made Me Funny, about three hilarious Muslim comics, and other films Islamic Art, and others. Narrators for these films include Mos Def, Andre Braugher, Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren, and other prominent actors.

Screenings can be organized in classrooms, at local movie houses, libraries, universities and houses of worship. You can request a DVD of any of our 10 films and/or stream the film from our website to your group.

Choose from these award-winning UPF films:

Enemy of the Reich: The Noor Inayat Khan Story

Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World

Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain

Learn more about each of these films at our Films page.

Teachers, please note that these films have been used in public schools nationwide and tie in with the social studies curriculum. Lesson plans are available for teachers here.

This initiative is part of UPF's 20,000 Dialogues Project, which received seed funding from the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art and the United States Institute for Peace.
