This compelling observational documentary focuses on a Muslim school in Sydney and the tumultuous struggle by its principal to keep it open in the face of acute financial and legal challenges. This moving, funny and suspenseful story is a classic David and Goliath tale which takes us into the seemingly closed world of Muslims in the West. The story provides a microcosm of some of the major issues faced by young Muslims growing up in the West in a post 9/11 era. The film received a standing ovation at the Sydney Film Festival, sold out in London, and has won many awards internationally.
