Hello,
I am working on a 50 minute documentary profiling the lives of
American Muslims for the Discovery Channel. We are going to be
filming across the States and with Muslims of ALL backgrounds;
ethnic, social and cultural.
The programme is going to be a portrait of peoples lives and aims to
raise the level of understanding in the States and Europe. I am
looking for people that can tell us their story of what it is to be
an American and a Muslim. We will see them at work, rest and play.
To do this I need to find people from all walks of life and from all
ethnic backgrounds in particular African-American, Arab and South
Asian (Indian subcontinent). They can be stockbrokers, basketball
players, teachers, police officers, shopkeepers or even musicians.
They can live in big cities, the suburbs or on a farm. The more
diverse the better. I know it sounds like a comprehensive list but I
want to make sure that I get a good representation of Muslims across
the States.
I am contacting you because I would be interested to find out if
there are any poets that are Muslim and that you thought might be
worth contacting.
I am on an insane schedule and only have approximately 7 days to find
the above characters so I'm afraid this is an urgent request. I hope
that you can help me in this endeavor and look forward to your reply.
Yours
