SCREENING: Don't Panik: Rap and Islam -- Documentary Screening

CMSS screens Don't Panik: Rap and Islam -- a documentary by Keira Maameri

Synopsis:

Don't Panik is a French documentary that captures Muslim rappers' positions regarding identity, religion and rap as public figures, through questions brought out by film director, Keira Maameri.

The subject explores the conflicts that artists face concerning spiritual beliefs and professional practices, a common bone of contention in the Muslim community where the profession is often judged sinful, as well as occidental culture that categorizes them as proselytes.

The documentary depicts the perspectives of six international MCs : ADL (Sweden), Doug E Tee (Senegal), Hasan Salaam (USA), Manza (Belgium), Medine (France) and Youss (Algeria). The honesty and intimacy with which the artists describe their development, doubts or beliefs is a key ingredient of this bright testimony.
