Paradise Lies at the Feet of the Mother
(Living Islam series)

VHS
50 minutes
BP50 .L58 1993 v.4

The role of the family is a key element in Islamic life. The film explores the position of women under a shari'a law in Egypt and Iran and asks how much is laid down by the faith and how much is added by the confines of local or tribal custom. In Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim nation, women are seen in jeans and short skirts working alongside those jilbab. Is this Islam or a heresy?
