| Summary: | Taqwacore: the birth of Punk Islam, chronicles the nascent Muslim punk rock movement in America. It was inspired by the work of Michael Knight, who converted to Islam in rebellion against his white-supremacist father. He went on to pen the novel The Taqwacores (a term combining the Muslim concept of God consciousness with hardcore punk), a manifesto for disillusioned Islamic teens. The film follows Knight and a variety of young subversives on tour charting their brave, foolish, and often exhilarating attempts to navigate the gap between their cultures and their countries, their religion and their individuality. |
