In 2017, an act of terror took the lives of six people at the Grand Mosque in Quebec City and seriously injured 19 others. The Government of Canada recognized that Islamophobia, hatred and radicalization—and the denial of these realities—were at the root of this horrifying crime. The NFB is commemorating the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia (January 29th) through a playlist of NFB films that lift the voices of Canadians of Muslim faith and address Islamophobia in our society. It is our hope that these films will give viewers both insight and a deeper appreciation for the lives of all Canadians.

    Things Arab Men Say
    Nisreen Baker 2016 52 min
    This documentary paints a picture of Arab men that is vastly different from what we’re accustomed to. In this antidote to mainstream-media depictions of Arabs as terrorists and extremists, we get to meet Jay, Ghassan and their friends, who gather at Jamal’s Eden Barber Shop to discuss politics, religion and family over a cut and a shave. Often funny, sometimes sad, this engaging film documents the challenges these men face integrating into Canadian life while preserving their identity and culture.

  • Me and the Mosque
    Me and the Mosque
    Zarqa Nawaz 2005 52 min
    Using original animation, archival footage and personal interviews, this full-length documentary portrays the multiple relationships Canadian Muslim women entertain with Islam’s place of worship, the mosque. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. In North America, a large number of converts are women. Many are drawn to the religion because of its emphasis on social justice and spiritual equality between the sexes. Yet, many mosques force women to pray behind barriers, separate from men, and some do not even permit women to enter the building. Exploring all sides of the issue, the film examines the space – both physical and social – granted to women in mosques across the country.

    

Me and the Mosque was produced as part of the Reel Diversity Competition for emerging filmmakers of colour. Reel Diversity is a National Film Board of Canada initiative in partnership with CBC Newsworld.
