Yacine Helali, 30, is a French-Algerian filmmaker who created a film that he hopes will change people’s perceptions of Islam and the Muslim community.
“I have the same concerns that the Muslim community as a whole has about how the media misrepresents us. I just wanted to show that the reality is different.”
“Through this short film I wanted to show that we can coexist. People on the street find a way to meet and explore each other. Individuals and groups are doing things to improve cohesion in the community. This film demonstrates that people have plenty in common, contrary to what we often hear.”
“We have the same concerns, the same hopes.”
