In this DVD, see a live performance of the band Janoon. In response to the September 11 attacks, Breakthrough and WalledCity Media grew particularly concerned about the rising incidence of hate crimes against South Asian Muslims and other immigrant populations in the United States. In addition to the abuse and violence experienced in their communities, immigrant groups are also facing severe curtailments of their fundamental human rights.
Breakthrough’s experience with the Junoon for Peace concert demonstrated that popular culture, with its broad reach, provides a powerful vehicle through which to discuss religion and culture and to encourage peaceful resolution of conflict.
