This documentary tells the unknown story of Alberta‘s early Muslim pioneers and how their historical contribution — the Al Rashid Mosque — has touched and influenced the lives of three generations of Muslims living in Edmonton. The mosque was constructed in the depths of the Great Depression, and officially opened on December 12, 1938. At the time there were less than a thousand Muslims living in Canada, and in Edmonton the majority were Lebanese. Through memories, photographs and archival films shared by three generations of the Hamdon family and other descendants of the mosque‘s founders; we discover the roots of Islam‘s establishment in Canada.
