San Francisco - When Turkish-born filmmaker Binnur Karaevli described her latest project on the website www.LightMillennium.org, her article provoked a bristling response from a young Muslim woman living in the US. The documentary “Women Who Dare” examines “the complex issues that are faced by educated Muslim women” and features three women who “have created their own identities by defying the roles of their society . . . in a culture where many women are still weighted down by the demands of tradition”. The letter writer accused Karaevli of misrepresenting and denigrating Islam."
