Full Plot Details

Controversial Pakistani cleric Maulana Aziz, linked to the Taliban, declares jihad against the government to impose sharia law. The government retaliates by destroying his seminary, killing his mother, brother, his only son and 150 students. The film follows charming yet menacing Maulana Aziz on his personal quest to create an Islamic utopia, which causes the country to implode. The Red Mosque has students allied with ISIL, and strong ties to the Taliban. We meet two Red Mosque students whose paths diverge: Talha, 12, leaves his moderate Muslim family to study to be a jihadi preacher. Zarina, also 12, escapes her madrassa and joins a normal school. Her education is threatened by frequent Taliban attacks on schools like her own. In December, 2014, the Taliban massacred 132 schoolchildren in Peshawar, outraging Pakistan's moderate majority. Aziz's longtime opponent, education reformer Pervez Hoodbhoy joins the re-energized anti-extremist movement. Throughout the film, he passionately opposes Aziz on television and public forums. With the tide turning against the cleric, Pervez is determined to see Aziz put in jail. Intimate and brutally honest, AMONG THE BELIEVERS offers rare insight into the ideological battle shaping Pakistan and the Muslim world.

Movie Reviews

It's Just Movies - 7/10 by Ron WilkinsonAn unvarnished inside look at a society uprooted by religious warfare and the lives of the children caught in the crossfire.
Screen Comment - 7/10 by Nathanael HoodA chilling documentary that examines Maulana Aziz's Red Mosque network and the roots of Muslim extremism.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 6/10 by Charles MudedeAziz is shown to be at once strong, authentic, charismatic, vulnerable, boring, and a charlatan. He is not the kind of person you can easily demonize or humanize.
User Review - 10/10 by Dennis M. RIncredible access to the Pakistani madrasas of the Red Mosque. The footage displays the stark comparison of fundamentalist versus more non-religious schools. Also, the film gives historical context for the rise of radicalism starting with Reagan's arming of the Jihadist in the Soviet-Afghan War through Bush's War on Terror.
User Review - 10/10 by Ray SDocumentary about the expanding network of Islamic schools for children as young as 4 years old. Poor parents give their children to these seminaries because they get fed and housed for free. The children become pawns in the ideological war of Islam vs the West.
User Review - 8/10 by Gavin SUsing a seemingly detached approach that doesn't preach to the audience and understands that what it shows speaks for itself, this is an important documentary that offers a devastating look at religious fundamentalism brainwashing kids and turning them into terrorists.
