What happens when former Wall Street Journal
reporter Asra Nomani returns to her hometown in West Virginia to find the mosque taken over by men she considers extremists.
Working in Pakistan after September 11, 2001, former Wall
Street Journal reporter Asra Nomani faced a double shock: a
surprise pregnancy and abandonment by the Pakistani man she thought
would be her husband, then the murder of her dear friend Daniel
Pearl at the hands of Muslim extremists. Still reeling, and with a
son to raise, she returned to her hometown in West Virginia to find
that the mosque had been taken over by men she saw as extremists.
This documentary chronicles what happens when she decides to fight
back - angering even the mosque's moderates. As the film unfolds,
it tells a story of competing paths to social change, American
identity and the nature of religion itself.
