Secret Life of Muslims
The Secret Life of Muslims May 10, 2019
Joshua Seftel, co-creator and founding director of the hit online series “Secret Life of Muslims,” explains the motivation for the project, which was nominated for an Emmy and has been viewed tens of millions of times. Seftel is Jewish and has vivid memories of anti-Semitism directed against his family as he grew up in Upstate New York. More recently he learned that half of Americans have a negative view of Muslims, and thought that as a filmmaker, he had a way to counter this prejudice. Seftel and his crew have made about 20 episodes in the series to date -- short audio profiles of American Muslims that portray them as relatable, inspiring and funny.
