25 NorthEast
by IslamicFamily
A narrative podcast about Muslim life in Canada. Made in Edmonton, Alberta, where we turn 25 degrees north-east to face Mecca. Every season we pick a theme, and use it to tell true stories about the diverse facets of the Canadian-Muslim experience. Season 1: In Canada, 5% of the population is Muslim. In Canadian Prisons, over 10% of the population is Muslim. With little available institutional support, a cyclical system that turns every sentence into a life sentence, and complete isolation from the community, join us as we listen to Muslim Narratives in the Canadian Prison System. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
