Muslim In Trump’s America is a 2020 current affairs documentary film produced for ITV's Exposure strand. The film had its British premiere on 1 November 2020,[1] and Norwegian Premier on NRK 2 on 2 November.[2]
In this documentary, director Deeyah Khan investigates the impact of rising anti-Muslim hate groups, conspiracy theories and hate crimes since 2015. Khan meets the family of a Kansas farmer serving 30 years for an anti-Muslim bomb plot; she films with a right wing, armed militia who believe that Muslims are trying to take over America; and she meets ordinary Muslims whose lives have been shattered by violence and intolerance. Deeyah also meets the campaigners who are trying to combat a rising tide of hatred; and seeks to get to the heart of the Muslim experience in America; experiences of alienation, of rejection, and the daily struggles of keeping faith with both Islam and the American Dream.[3]
Muslim In Trump’s America has won a Peabody Award in News category.[4]
