AN AMERICAN PRAYER

An American Prayer, the gripping 2021 documentary from MTV World founder Nusrat Durrani, was filmed at the height of the pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests, and the chaos of Trump’s first presidency. It interrogates the American Dream, exposing its clashing realities & staggering disparities. In 2025, its themes—dislocation, immigration, racial strife, Islamophobia, & systemic discrimination—are even more urgent. Its fearless characters burn brighter. The film premiered at the prestigious Black Nights Film Festival in Tallinn in 2021 & has screened worldwide.
