Disaster knows no prejudice. Whether you are black, white, yellow, orange, purple, Muslim or non-Muslim....when disaster strikes, it doesn't discriminate. It affects everyone. Tufaan is a documentary produced by Belal Khan of Leechon Films . Muslims in the media are portrayed as people who cause disasters. What they don't portray is that Muslims are people who are in the forefront whenever disasters strike. And Tufaan wants to shed light on stories that were not covered in mainstream media. Tufaan, which is Arabic for "Great Storm" is about people's personal stories (survivors and relief workers) on the events leading up to and after Hurricane Katrina. This documentary tells their stories of loss, despair, confusion, happiness and hopefulness. This documentary will be the first of its kind-- highlighting the different Islamic values that be learned through these difficult situations. Meet the heroes who helped the people and the stories they had to tell.
