September13, 2009 U.S. Premiere of 'Veiled Voices,' A Documentary on Muslim Women Religious Leaders through the Eyes of Three Women in Lebanon, Syria and Egypt.
We are pleased to announce the US national broadcast premiere of Brigid Maher's documentary film Veiled Voices on Link TV on Sunday, September 13, 2009 @ 8pm (EST). Channel 375 on Direct TV and Channel 9410 on Dish Network.
The documentary film 'Veiled Voices' introduces American audiences to the little-known world of Muslim women religious leaders, exposing the fallacy of assuming veiled women to be victims of Islam. The film reveals the challenges these women face in receiving recognition of their leadership roles, and highlights the gaps between the rights that Islam has given to women and the challenges they face in claiming those rights.
