Writer/director/journalist Jawad Rhalib has created a stirring testament to the power of art especially as it exists in the Muslim world. Starting with his feelings about his mother’s belly dancing, full of female sensuality, he explores the effects of the fundamentalist Islamic view on the arts in general, which labels them sinful. Interweaving rehearsals, conversations, performances, and archival footage, the documentary investigation explores Muslim identity, harmful stereotypes, and the rich and enduring tradition of dance and music found across the Arab world.
