Witness

Hip-Hop Hijabis (2015x5)

: 05, 2015

A musical journey of faith that follows Britain's first female Muslim hip-hop duo on tour. This is a universal story about friendship, love and idealism, and two young women finding their place in the world. Muneera and Sukina are Poetic Pilgrimage, Britain's first female Muslim hip-hop duo. And this is their personal, spiritual and physical journey. As a tour of the UK takes the women into diverse communities, they remain undeterred by the fact that some Muslims consider music and public female performances to be forbidden. Instead, their music guides them to new discoveries about their faith, as they learn that they share their journey with other Muslim women around the world, and explore their desire to reconcile their conversion to Islam with their strong feminist sensibilities and Jamaican roots.
