abstract
This poster explores the depiction of Muslim women in film and on television. Hollywood has often portrayed Muslim women as angry, insensitive mothers, sisters, and daughters in dramas such as The Bodyguard and American Sniper to what we see now as much more representations of more empowered, intelligent, and independent roles in such shows as Greys Anatomy and Mooz-Lum, and American Crime.
