Shahada 2010

Three Muslims grapple with how to reconcile their beliefs with the guilt, violence, and forbidden sexuality that are woven into the fabric of their everyday lives in Berlin. Ismail, a police officer, is conflicted with his attraction towards an illegal immigrant. Maryam, the daughter of a liberal religious leader, is moving towards ultra-conservatism that causes their relationship to disintegrate. Sammi is struggling with his faith as he is drawn to one of his male co-workers despite threats of violent homophobia.
