Mooz-lum

Tariq grew up under a strict Muslim upbringing. His family kept him largely away from the outside world. When he starts university that arrangement breaks down. His first year turns into one that changes him. He meets new people and looks for his own place. He is caught between what his family gave him and this new life. Then the attacks of the eleventh of September happen. The air on campus changes at once. His friends begin to look at him differently. Suspicion and distrust grow. Some turn their anger on him. Tariq has to think again about who he is. The distance between him and his family gets weighed at the same time. Evan Ross and Nia Long appear in the ninety five minute film, an American production Qasim Basir finished in 2011.
