Among the Believers
Directed by Mohammed Naqvi, Hemal Trivedi
Produced by Changeworx, Manjusha Films
A deeply unsettling documentary investigation into radicalization and indoctrination at a Pakistani Islamic school, driven by firsthand access and moral urgency rather than spectacle.
An unsettling and eye opening exploration into the spread of the radical Islamic school Red Mosque, which trains legions of children to devote their lives to jihad, or holy war, from a very young age. With incredible access and chilling footage, Among the Believers is a timely and relevant look into the causes that have led to the growth of radical Islam in Pakistan and around the world.
