Arts+Culture / FeatureHow it feels to be a young British Muslim in 2015After the terror attacks in Paris, Islamophobic attacks rose by 300 per cent in Britain – our film Do You Know Who I Am? explores the emotions of today’s young MuslimsShareLink copied ✔️December 14, 2015Arts+CultureFeatureText Thomas Gorton Film Direction Camilla Mathis Producer Ruqaiya Haris , Thomas Gorton Since the terrifying attacks on Paris in November, there has been a huge spike in attacks on British Muslims, with more than 115 recorded in a single week, including a petrol bomb being thrown into a mosque in east London. On the streets, those targeted are mostly young female Muslims, women wearing hijabs. The perpetrators are typically white males aged between 15 and 35. Muslims make up just five per cent of the United Kingdom’s population, yet some divisive newspaper headlines would have you think otherwise. How do young British Muslims feel in the country that they grew up in, in an aggressive climate where strangers may shout at you on the bus, determined to connect them to crimes that they did not commit? This film – Do You Know Who I Am? – meets the young Muslims of London, delves into their experiences with Islamophobia and explores the effect that it has on their sense of British identity. All the equipment for this film was provided by Cameraworks. Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday. Privacy policy Thank you.
