The documentary Taqwacore: The Birth of Islam Punk explores this concept amongst the unlikely, yet fitting youth in the Islamic community. The story follows three Muslim bands on their first tour, starting in the states and ending in Pakistan, encompassing an emotional growth for not only the bands, but also the director himself. A panel discussion — courtesy of this collaboration from Film Stream and Project Interfaith — follows the screening of this story that’s been dubbed one of best rock-docs of 2009.
