Synopsis

Chaplains, social workers, staff at women's shelter, the people who manage the local food kitchen--these are some of the roles Canadian Muslims fulfill for their faith community and their neighbours; but how do they live these roles while navigating their own identities and well-being in an age marked by prejudice and stereotypes? Chicken Soup for the Muslim Ruh offers intimate dialogue with members of this community doing important front-line work at a local skill, trying to understand how and why they do this work, and what they'd like to share about themselves beyond single story narratives.
