AMONG THE BELIEVERS
Democracy has failed. Dictators have failed. Now there is a vacuum.
Someone has to fill it.
Among the Believers:
Along with Aziz’s quest for sharia law, the feature documentary charts the coming-of-age stories of his two students who are trapped in this ideological war.
Controversial cleric Maulana Aziz, with links to the Taliban, declares jihad against the government to impose sharia law. This sparks a bloody confrontation with the army and causes the country to be convulsed by violence. Along with Aziz’s quest, the film charts the coming-of-age stories of his two students who are trapped in this ideological war.
Democracy has failed. Dictators have failed. Now there is a vacuum.
Someone has to fill it.
