Venue: On the roof of El Museo Del Barrio
1230 Fifth Ave. @ 104th St. (East Harlem)
Puerto Rican American rapper Hamza Pérez ended his life as a drug dealer 12 years ago, and started down a new path as a young Muslim. Now he’s moved to Pittsburgh’s tough North Side to start a new religious community, rebuild his shattered family, and take his message of faith to other young people through his uncompromising music as part of the hip-hop duo M-Team. But when the FBI raids his mosque, Hamza must confront the realities of the post-9/11 world.
Before the films, Hamza will perform live, and afterwards we will have a reception on the roof where you can enjoy complimentary beer and Sangria and meet the filmmakers and subjects of the films.
