In many different locations in the world The Canadian production company 90th Parallel films a documentary on Islam. The documentary is loosely based on a book by author Irshad Manji, called ‘The Trouble with Islam’. The documentary is sponsored by the National Film Board of Canada and Global Television Network and PBS in the United States. This film is a personal journey to see if Mrs. Manji can recover the love she once had for her religion. She is sincerely seeking to learn not to confront and argue. She wants to find ways to reconnect with it. To find answers. In The Netherlands Irshad Manji meets Imams doing a naturalisation course, Muslim gays, a converted Dutch Muslim, a radical Muslim, a Dutch-Moroccan rapper, the Hallal Girls' - three young Muslim sisters that look for things in the Dutch society that are confronting for Muslims, a well known analyst of the Dutch multi-cultural society and of course: Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
