BBC To Explore Muslim Makeover For Muslim Women
April 28th, 2008 by GiGi
For our surfers in the UK, there’s a five-part series coming to BBC in May and it will offer a highly individual insight into the world of Muslim women around the world.
The series, Women in Black, will offer a different ‘Islamaglamour’ perspective to hidden stories from women across the Middle East. The series is authored by British-Yemeni journalist Amani Zain, has worked at the BBC’s Country File and Primary Arabic, and in Yemen as a social counsellor on a project affiliated to the UNHCR. It is produced by Fatima Salaria, who has worked at BBC current affairs for several years as a senior producer.
The series will explore stores in Britain, Egypt, Dubai, Yemen and Holland.
“Discover the Muslim makeover, sexy underwear and female Formula One racing driver in Dubai; clubbing, cosmetic surgery and surely the world’s only Qur’an inspired TV sex therapist in Egypt,” the programme blurb says.
I’m hoping that the program will attract Mulim and non-Muslim alike. There’s so much speculation and rumor regarding Muslim women. With a little luck the program will be available in the US soon.
