Task:

Any RESEARCH you have done into the subject area
(Web links and personal evaluation of source – what will you use to support you documentary?)

When we first started to decide what we want to base our documentary on I was thinking of doing something along the lines of girls wearing the ‘hijab’ (head covering). The reason why I decided to do a documentary based on this is because I myself am a girl who wears it and there have never really been cleared out to people why it is important in the religion Islam. Most people have respected the religious wear but however there are still very narrow-minded people who haven’t yet still accepted it and think very bad of it. This is one of the main reasons why I would like to do this so it helps those people to not judge and respect others the way they choose to be.  While I watched other documentaries like "Make me a Muslim" and "Mum I'm a Muslim" they both gave me a good insight of the stereotypes that are targeted on new Muslim girls as well as born Muslim girls.

The reason to why I picked these programmes is because it relates to girls who are in the religious clothing and also stereotyping is involved in situations like this all the time. 

The reason to why I picked this documentary "Make me a Muslim" because it shows exactly what I am looking for to show everyone. There are British born girls converting to Islam, who were brought up being Christians but felt they are meant to be Muslim. It shows how live is hard for them as they choose to set their life to a new start with their family disagreeing with their choice and also even planning on leaving behind any relation with their daughters who have decided to move on to another faith.

"Mum I'm a Muslim" is also a similar documentary like the above. It shows the same life she is living as the girls in the above video and it is explaining how its made them better people inside and outside by following their hearts and choosing a new faith that they feel is the right on for them. They explain how they have become much stronger and happy in this religion and feel peace after praying and following the rules of which most Muslims follow in Islam.
