The controversy continues around the planned Community Center at Park 51 in Lower Manhattan, or what is often incorrectly referred to as the "Ground Zero Mosque." Here at Unity Productions Foundation we would like to elevate the conversation and promote civil, informed discourse around some of the broader questions — What did the 9/11 tragedy feel like to American Muslims? What is the story behind the interfaith group in New Jersey that helped build a mosque? What do Muslims worldwide really believe about terrorism? What are the aspirations of American Muslims?

To address these and other questions we're offering you our award-winning PBS films for free online. We sincerely hope that you will watch these films and share them with friends, colleagues, and social networks.
