Morgantown, West Virginia, is a university town of 30,000 nestled in the Appalachian Mountains — and the site of a brewing battle within the local mosque.
America at a Crossroads is a major public television event that premiered on PBS in April 2007.
This ongoing series explores the challenges confronting the post-9/11 world — including the war on terrorism; the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan; the experience of American troops serving abroad; the struggle for balance within the Muslim world; and global perspectives on America’s role overseas.
Additional films premiered throughout 2007 and 2008. These films covered topics of an Army reserve unit deployment in Afghanistan; anti-American sentiments in Europe; America’s role in global stability; pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli activists clashing on U.S. campuses; radical Islam in U.S. prisons; and Muslim-American comedians breaking down stereotypes; the trial of Saddam Hussein; and Arab musicians exploring how the geo-political climate has influenced their art.
The final film in the series, The Mosque in Morgantown, premieres June 15, 2009.
