WHOS NEXT dir. Nancy Cooperstein Charney
WHO'S NEXT? is a feature length documentary (86 minutes) that examines the effects of hate speech and bigotry on the lives of Muslim Americans. This powerful and timely film shines a light on how Muslim Americans have suffered from bigotry post 9/11, while encouraging viewers to choose knowledge over ignorance, take action to prevent hate speech, and get to know those who are different from them so that the challenges of marginalized communities can be effectively addressed. "WHO'S NEXT? is the type of artistic expression essential to those who cherish the concept of democracy." David Rothenberg, Host of ANY SATURDAY, WBAI
