Riz Ahmed joins call for greater Muslim inclusion as film study reveals “dangerous stereotypes"

The report, ‘Missing & Maligned: The Reality Of Muslims In Popular Global Movies examined Muslim representation in 200 “popular films” from the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand released between 2017 and 2019 and found no Muslim speaking characters in 181 or 90.5% of the total sample.

Only six films featured a Muslim lead, co-lead or ensemble lead characters, and only one had a Muslim woman in an ensemble lead role, shared with two men. Of 41 primary and secondary Muslim characters, 53.7% were targets of violence, and 39% were perpetrators of violence.
