The UH Islamic Studies Program invites you to celebrate ISLAM DAY

Join us for a new PBS Production at UHM, Kuykendall Hall 101!

Produced by Emmy Award winning Christopher Productions LLC and narrated by Academy Award Nominee, Ali MacGraw, “Osimi” chronicles the life of a man called the “Nelson Mandela” of Central Asia. His story is about using culture (language, music, poetry and literature) as a tool to connect people and create a better future.

Filmed in Tajikistan and other parts of the world, the documentary follows Muhammad Asimov’s great love for his country - which he had hoped to save from a bloody civil war.

Program:

Doors at KUY 101 open 11:45 am

Event begins at 12:00 p.m.

Screening after a brief welcome by Dr. Tamara Albertini (UH Philosophy Chair and Director of Islamic Studies)

Q/A session with Dr. Dila Asimova (daughter of Muhammad Asimov).
