Descrizione

La serie racconta, in chiave umoristica, i tentativi di una comunita' islamica di adattarsi alla vita di una cittadina della prateria e gioca sulle paure e sui pregiudizi post 11 settembre 2001. Un argomento forse a rischio, ma trattato con semplicità e condito da una sottile comicità mai offensiva. La piccola Moschea è stato scritto da Zarqa Nawaz, che racconta di essersi ispirata all'esperienza vissuta quando si è trasferita in una città di provincia per lavorare nella locale Moschea: "Persone di differenti ideologie islamiche devono vivere insieme e trovare un accordo tra di loro" spiega "Ho così pensato che sarebbe stato interessante raccontare in una serie com'è la vita in una moschea di una piccola comunità". Il ser-ial segue le vicende di un imam nato in Canada che si trasferisce da una grande città a Mercy, piccola cittadina dello Stato di Saskatchewan, dove si trova a convivere con diversi e coloratissimi personaggi della comunità islamica e non. Così nella banalità del quotidiano di una famiglia religiosa ma moderna e nelle situazioni quasi grottesche che si creano tra i giovani e gli anziani frequentatori della moschea indaghiamo punto per punto quelle che possono ai nostri occhi apparire inezie ma, che per un giovane musulmano sono problematiche enormi che riscrivono letteralmente il loro modo di concepire le relazioni sociali; tipo la necessità di una barriera divisoria nella moschea per permettere agli uomini di pregare senza essere disturbati dalla vista delle donne oppure la necessità per una donna d'indossare il velo di fronte ad un uomo gay. Il cast include Zaib Shaikh nel ruolo dell'imam , Carlo Rota(apparizioni in 24, Queer as folk, Relic Hunter e altri nonche' in film come Mission to Mars), Manoj Sood(apparso in 4400, Rat race e altri), Sheila McCarthy, Arlene Duncan, Derek McGrath, Debra McGrath, Sitara Hewitt e Neil Crone.
