Description
The notorious Finsbury Park mosque is attempting to move on from its murky past and we gained exclusive access to film behind the scenes.
For the first time, this film tells the story of the mosque from the perspective of people who work and pray there. We trace its dramatic history since its foundation in 1988. We interview the key players in the life of the mosque, past and present.
And we explore the role of the mosque in the lives of British Muslims today and its nature as a haven in a society so often perceived as hostile to Muslims.
How far do the arguments over its direction reflect wider divisions among Muslims in London – and do they actually sharpen those divisions?
After its turbulent past, will the mosque be able to follow the moderate line its backers so urgently desire?
