Casablanca Calling (7x16)

:

In Morocco, women are being employed as religious leaders — called Morchidat — for the first time, offering advice and guidance in mosques, schools, prisons, and orphanages around the country. Casablanca Calling follows three of these exceptional women as they teach an Islam based on tolerance, compassion, and equality, and try to change people’s perceptions of its true teachings.
