In my Cultural Diversity class, Muslim Americans is my thesis topic. I am expanding my knowledge of present, as well as past. I have watched several movies on Islam, Judaism, and Arab cultures. Does anyone have any suggestions of movies I can get access to in the USA? Preferably for free. I'm on a student budget. Maybe on Netflix, or Hulu, or PFTV.
I recommend for you " The message 1977" this film about the beginening of Islam and story of Muhammed (the messenger of God)

You choose very intersting topics. I admire that you try to ask mulem about resourses. Also, I suggest for you to read the Qu'raan . You will never understand Islam unless you read the Qu'raan and speak to Muslems people.
I hope I help you.
Good Luck
Do you only want movies? I haven't seen any movies but theres plenty of videos you can watch. The deen show features alot on American muslims http://thedeenshow.com/cat/Videos
Although, i'm not sure if you'll be able to reference this type of thing for your thesis. If i find anything useful i'll send it.
Best regards
if you wana to know a correct information about arab and islam don't ever watch movies , try the trusted translation of islamic arabic book , and for sure you should start with a translation of the meaning of the Holy Qura'an
I will recommend to watch a TV program called " A civilization maker " , It covers the biography of Omar ibn el khatab ,but you will get rich information about the islamic civilization , and here is the link you will find these Episodes are translated in English and French.
