The Pittsburgh City Paper profiles Hamza Pérez, “Pittsburgh's lone Puerto Rican-American ex-drug-dealer and activist Muslim rapper.” Perez is the subject of a P.O.V. documentary, New Muslim Cool.
Says director/producer Jennifer Maytorena Taylor, “New Muslim Cool came out of my long-standing interest in the power of pop music and culture to create social change. . . This is a story about who we all are as a country, making choices about our deepest values in tough times and continually redefining what it means to be American.”
Speaking of P.O.V., they’re looking for ideas to pitch, a promising rough cut to showcase, or a finished film. Submit your work to P.O.V.
