UPF will be announcing & showing a film trailer from its latest film in development

-Noor Khan: A True Story of a Heroic Muslim Woman of WWII

There have been thousands of films about World War II.  But little attention has ever been given to the Muslim heroes of that time. Until now.

UPF is fundraising for a film telling the inspiring, true story of a Muslim woman who opposed Hitler and helped launch the French Resistance. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan.  She grew up in France, in a religious Muslim household and was a delicate girl. Forced to flee her home when the Nazis invaded, she joined a secret effort to start the French Resistance movement. Betrayed by a double agent for the Gestapo, she was finally arrested and sent to the infamous Dachau prison camp. There, she refused to give any information until murdered by the Nazis. Defiant to the end and firm her faith, the last words she shouted her execution were "Liberte!" Freedom.

Founded by American Muslims Michael Wolfe and Alex Kronemer, Unity Productions Foundation is the producer of 9 award-winning films including: Muhammad Legacy of a Prophet, Allah Made Me Funny: The Movie, and Islamic Art. UPF runs a countering Islamophobia project that has trained hundreds of U.S. Government officials, a 20,000 Dialogues educational outreach project and works in Hollywood to get the Muslim story right.
