Film Screening and Q & A- Inside Mecca

Join us for a screening of Inside Mecca, a documentary about the annual Islamic pilgrimage, the hajj, to the city of Mecca. The film follows three pilgrims from very different backgrounds through their unique, individual journey. We will be joined by Anisa Mehdi, the film's creator, for a Q & A after the screening.

"' Inside Mecca ' focuses on the personal stories of the hajj," says Anisa Mehdi, producer and director of the film. "Through the various viewpoints and experiences of the participants, we follow not only their physical steps but the spiritual and emotional stages of this all-important voyage. We want to show viewers around the world the remarkable experience of the hajj: that it is at once deeply personal and widely universal."
