The film Journey into America will be screened on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m., in the KJ Auditorium. The screening is hosted by Project Nur, the International Students Association, and STAND (the Student Coalition Against Genocide) and is free and open to the public.
Journey into America, directed by Akbar Ahmed, details the experiences of Muslims living in the United States and the unique American identity that they have formed in the country. The film also seeks to address the difficult question of how Islam fits within the parameters of American identity in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks. The documentary is considered to be the first consolidated anthropological study on the Muslim-American community and has been shown at numerous film festivals, including the Islamic Film Festival.
