Following the screening, filmmaker Julia Meltzer joined the panel to explore the impact of women’s mosques and religious spaces around the world, the commonalities that these spaces share, as well as the ways in which each women’s mosque has its own distinct set of practices based on the unique culture, history, and politics within each country.
