    Finally the representation we have been asking for!

    American Eid is a story of two Pakistani Muslim girls who are celebrating Eid out of Pakistan for the first time and how they are finding it difficult to fit in in a world where so many people do not even know what Eid is. I loved how it conveyed so much about Muslim and Pakistani Eid culture, fasting, eating Halal in just 20 minutes. Loved how it had some Urdu dialogues in between too so that it looked genuine. The girls acted brilliantly.

    American Eid is FINALLY the representation we have been asking for, for ages!

    Kudos to Aqsa Altaf for creating this heartwarming masterpiece!
