Director's Statement: People wonder which religion do I follow - whether it's Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism or Christianity. Well if you're still wondering because of my headscarf, yes I'm a proud Muslim, but that doesn't mean I have no respect for the other beliefs or a bit of cruelty. Cause I believe in equality.
