Seventh Art Stand: Time for Ilhan
Mon, Oct 15 7pm!
Time for Ilhan follows Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American, hijab-wearing mother of three, as she builds upon her community organizer roots and runs for office in Minneapolis, home to one of the largest Somali communities in the U.S. As an immigrant and a charismatic candidate who bridges her Muslim faith with a progressive Democratic platform, Ilhan could pave the way as the first Muslim woman in U.S. Congress, if she wins during this November's midterm elections.
The Seventh Art Stand is a rapid response initiative which utilizes film to bridge communities and create new inroads for civil rights discussion.
