permissible and what was not.
And so I had grown up, I would say, within that kind of a framework.
And so I understood it from that personal level as well.
And so from that news story, I went on and began researching other cases of other honor crimes that had taken place across the US and in Canada and Europe.
And I was really struck by the way that these stories were told in the media and also by the fact that for the most part, the voices of the communities where these crimes had taken place were absent.
And so that was really where my mind began to turn and I began thinking about such a story.
Well, I was noticing that for the most part, it wasn't very nuanced.
I was noticing a lot of the sensationalized coverage.
I was noticing that not even just the media coverage, well, the media coverage, but the discourse around it, even the public discourse was sensationalized and it was Islamophobic.
And so I began to think about the story of not necessarily the fact, but rather the possibility of a crime and to examine it through the voices of these communities surrounding the family, but also to examine, you know, the Islamophobic and sensationalized discourse around these crimes.
I would say that there would be nuance in terms of the way that it's covered.
There shouldn't be, I believe, a demonization of that community and that culture, which is what I was speaking of.
And I think that there wasn't a lot of nuance there.
And it's the broad brushing strokes of the whole community.
And I think that is what a lot of the community and maybe one of the reasons why those voices are absent is.
And why those communities tend to close ranks is that because of such coverage, where complete communities and cultures and people are demonized, the story maybe isn't told in a way where dialogue can begin to take place and where the issues can begin to be addressed.
Yes, the story is about the Sharafs who come to the United States as refugees.
And it's about their pursuit of the American dream and their belief in that, their unshakable belief in this American dream and their attainment of it.
And then the unraveling and ultimate destruction after a terrible tragedy strikes their family.
Yes, absolutely.
