Ep 49 - The Riz Test: Challenging how Muslims are portrayed on screen

On this week's TMV Podcast, Salim is joined by Jessica (TMV Deputy Editor) and Shaf, a co-founder of The Riz Test. Taking their name from British-Muslim actor Riz Ahmed, they took inspiration from his now famous speech at the House of Commons in 2017. We discuss how The Riz Test came to be, the need for more Muslim representation in film and television, and the surprising number of films and television shows that fails in terms of accurately portraying Muslims onscreen.
