Muslimah's Guide to Marriage
- 4:30PM
Winner of the Audience Award at the Pan African Film Festival, this smart, witty romantic comedy offers something all too rare onscreen: a brash, irreverent look at black Muslim life. Muslimah Mohammed (Perry)—an African-American orthodox Muslim who’s always righteous but not always right—has seven days and 14 hours before her divorce is finalized. Worried the separation will upset her deeply religious father, Muslimah embarks on a frantic quest to fix her broken marriage before it’s too late.
