| Inhalt: |
| Taqwacore chronicles the nascent Muslim punk rock movement in America. It was inspired by the work of MichaeI Knight, who converted to Islam in rebelIion against his white-supremacist father. He went on to pen the novel The Taqwacores (a term combining the Muslim concept of God consciousness with hardcore punk), a manifesto for disillusioned lslamic teens. Soon young Muslim musicians were contacting him and a tour idea was hatched. The fiIm folIows Knight and a variety of young subversives on tour as they shock and awe spectators in the U.S. before bringing their music to Lahore. They break every taboo along the way. As Knight excIaims, ''they're giving the finger to both sides''. The film charts their brave, fooIish, and often exhiIarating attempts to navigate the gap between their cuItures and their countries, their religion and their individuaIity. |
