    AMERICAN NARRATIVE: THE MUSLIM PROTAGONIST is a highlighted conversation at CAAMFest 2013 that uses Mira Nair's "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" as a launching point to address relevant issues affecting American Muslims, and by extension many religious groups and communities of color. This discussion will bring together key speakers along with community members to address vital social and political issues, including the disturbing acts of violence against Muslim and Sikh communities, the representation of Muslims in national media, and the rise of Muslim artists, performers and thought leaders.
