#Strollingseries – Being black and Muslim
There is a really interesting short documentary series by Cecile Emeke called #Strollingseries. The makers take a stroll (in Dutch ‘wandelen’):
‘Strolling’ is a short documentary film series created by Cecile Emeke where we take a stroll with people in various cities and countries around the world, having refreshingly raw and honest conversations about various issues at the forefront of their society.

BBC Radio Documentary on Dutch Muslims
Anna Holligan learns how the fear and loathing is being fuelled by the growing numbers of young people who are leaving the Netherlands to join the jihad in Syria. Many accuse the mayor of ‘selling out’ to the Western establishment and abandoning the young people who are now being forced to defend their faith. At the heart of this tension are what are known as ‘commuter-Imams’ – faith leaders who come to Holland but are accused of doing little to encourage Muslims to integrate into wider Dutch society.
