Relatório técnico do projeto experimental fronteira de fé: a prática do islã em Uruguaiana

Abstract

This work aims to report the production of the journalistic documentary “Fronteira de Fé: a prática do Islã em Uruguaiana”, that, by using the potentialities of the audiovisual, presents the muslim community of the city, their faith and how it is lived. Uruguaiana, located in the western region of Rio Grande do Sul, has one of the biggest arab palestinian colonies in the state, through which Islam was introduced in the city. The idea for the documentary emerged from the contrast between the relevant presence of the islamic religion and their followers in the city and the lack of easily accessible material about the topic in the media, something that can add to the ignorance and foment prejudice against this group. Therefore, this audiovisual product investigates e exposes, through three characters, the islamic religion and its pillars, the way it is organized and practiced, the experience of muslims in the city and their influence in the local community.
