The Taqwacores 15
Yusef is a first generation Pakistani American engineering student who moves in with a group of Muslim punks in New York. His new “unorthodox” housemates soon introduce him to Taqwacore - a hardcore, Muslim punk rock scene. Taqwacore influences the house more and more and ultimately, Yusef begins to challenge his own faith and ideologies. A powerful and original story of self discovery and punk Islam in the USA.
