A short film about building the Virgin Mary Mosque

“It’s an amazing experience when I drive past the mosque, when I’m praying in the mosque, I’m so connected to this place because not only is it a house of God and worship, but I’ve played a very small role in making this mosque what it is. Now, being a father I can take my kids to the mosque and have that conversation. You know what? Your dad actually did X, Y and Z.” Hanad
