"My Fellow American:" A New, Creative Attempt at Productive Activism

In an effort to counter Islamophobia, Unity Productions has launched their latest project called “My Fellow American.” With accounts like these, the program provides a storytelling platform for non-Muslims to share stories about their Muslim friends and neighbors. In the short film below, hateful voices are juxtaposed with everyday Muslim Americans. The project teaser serves as a call-to-action for people of all faiths and backgrounds to stand up against the climate of offensive speech and fear of Muslims or Islam.
