The Taqwacores

Yusef, a first-generation Pakistani-American college student, moves off-campus with a group of Muslim punks in Buffalo, New York. His “unorthodox” housemates soon introduce him to Taqwacore – the hardcore, Muslim punk rock scene. Ultimately, Yusef begins to challenge his own faith and ideologies. A powerful and original story of punk Islam in the USA and the discovery of oneself within the confines of religion. Official selection, Sundance Film Festival.

“Simmers with raw immediacy and seething humor...sure to appeal to fans of Trainspotting, Fight Club and anything by Gus Van Sant.” (Melissa Henderson, L.A. Times)
