September 30, 2011
View Comments
[Patch Network] Set in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Fordson tells the story of the football team at a predominantly Muslim-American high school. The high school students go through grueling practices leading up to a big rivalry game during Ramadan, a holy month where Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. Through interviews with students, coaches, family members, teachers and fans, the filmmakers provide an inside look into an American community enjoying one of the nation’s most popular pastimes while coping with racism, cultural misunderstandings and terrorism allegations.blog comments powered by Disqus
