American Ramadan is a bold and valuable new look at the American Muslim experience, produced and masterfully captured by first time director Naeem Randhawa. American Ramadan explores and reveals the holiest of rituals, shared by the Abrahamic traditions, but practiced by more - the act of Fasting for Faith. As diverse as the fabric of American life, from the divorced Dad, the student coping with school, work and family life, the convert to Islam and his Indonesian wife, another interracial couple, and the wife of an incarcerated businessman - the reality of life is vividly and emotionally witnessed on film.

Filmed on location in Dallas and Los Angeles, the documentary follows the lives of five American Muslim families during the Month of Ramadan. American Ramadan illustrates the everyday struggles, fears, hopes, and challenges that everyone, Muslim or not, faces everyday.

The intimate and personal stories of the five families are complemented with scholars from the three Abrahamic faiths, scholars who bring to light the common thread of Fasting and spiritual yearning between Jews, Muslims, Christians, and other Faiths.

An introspective view of how Muslims in America cope with their religious and cultural traditions, while balancing the western way of life, American Ramadan is required viewing for anyone that is an observer of humanity. This documentary does more than build bridges; it exemplifies the plight of everyone who is seeking faith and a higher spiritual understanding.
