Between God and I

Karen is a young independent Muslim woman who advocates Sharia law in the diverse Island of Mozambique, but is filled with doubts and contradictions about her identity and the community she lives in.

 

On her historical multicultural Island with its deeply rooted traditions, a moderate form of Islam has so far harmoniously coexisted with other religions. But Karen's new found “pure Islam” doesn't tolerate the old cultural practices and traditions in which she grew up. Through an intimate glimpse of Karen's life, Between God and I, sheds light into the humanity of young women who are making radical religious choices and their implications in a broader context of religious conflicts.
