Women across the Middle East are trying to reclaim their role as leaders in Islam.  Veiled Voices goes in-depth into the world of three Muslim women religious leaders, who say women were always meant to be powerful within the religion.  Filmed over the course of two years in Lebanon, Syria and Egypt, Veiled Voices reveals a world rarely documented, exploring both the public and private lives of these luminary women. Each triumphs over difficult challenges as they carve out a space to lead - both in Islam and in their communities.  

“I found myself being drawn into their lives and stories. The movie certainly offers a rare glimpse into the lives of Muslim women leaders. At times it surprised my own pre-conceived ideas about the women.”    
– Safiyyah Surtees, Muslima Media Watch

“The film, the first of its kind...is not to be missed by any who wish to enter the world of contemporary Islam with its lively gender dynamics being refashioned under our very eyes.”  – Margot Badran, author of  Feminism in Islam: Secular and Religious Convergences
