The Minnesota History Center has kicked off a film series exploring the lives of women who live in Islamic countries. The documentary films explore a similiar theme--women struggling to find their place in a restrictive society. With one exception the films are directed by Islamic women. The History Center's Danielle Dart was in charge of choosing four films to screen from a catalog of 25. She says she picked films that highlighted a wide range of experiences.
Digitization made possible by the State of Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, approved by voters in 2008.
