Wayward Son - The Jordan Richter Story
Time: 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Date: Wednesday, 21 September 2011
Admission is FREE but REGISTRATION is required. Please register here

MuzlimBuzz.sg, in collaboration with SimplyIslam.sg, is pleased to organize a special screening cum discussion with Mustafa Davis, a famous film director from USA. He has recently released a short film entitled "Wayward Son - The Jordan Richter Story", an intimate story of professional skateboarder Jordan Richter and his rise and disappearance from the sport of Skateboarding. Jordan embraced the religion of Islam in the mid 90’s and out of what he felt was a religious obligation, dropped out of the sport. 15 years later he realizes that skateboarding is not prohibited in Islam and starts competing again.

Mustafa Davis - “There is cultural imperialism in the Muslim American community that results in many Muslims being forced to commit cultural apostasy, denying who they are and losing themselves in the process.”
