We learned through “Innocence of Muslims” that one film can make a difference in the way Americans and Muslims perceive each other. Now is the time for “Journey into America” to make the difference, but for the better.

The anti-Islamic propaganda film “Innocence of Muslims” exacerbated the stereotypes and animosities between Americans and Muslims worldwide. The anti-American protests that have swept across the world have proven that for better or worse, one film can make a difference. For this reason I’m informing you about the documentary feature film “Journey into America” (2009) and its subsequent initiative One Film 9/11.
“Journey into America” is a groundbreaking and timely documentary that records Ambassador Akbar Ahmed and his team of students as they visited more than 100 mosques in cities, suburbs and towns across America. Unlike “Innocence of Muslims,” which enhances animosity toward Islam with antagonistic messages, “Journey into America” teaches that cultural dialogue and interfaith understanding is our best chance at improving relations between Americans and Muslims.
