Between worlds: Young Muslim women in Germany

Germany is home to around 5.5 million Muslims, and studies estimate that approximately 30% of Muslim women wear a headscarf.

Headscarves are a frequent topic of debate in Germany. Courts have ruled against general bans, citing violations of religious freedom guaranteed by the German constitution. But many people believe that Islam and headscarves don't belong in Germany. Another widespread opinion is that women who wear headscarves are oppressed and of a weak disposition.

Miriam and Tua vehemently oppose this view. In this documentary, they describe how they feel torn between cultures and what their religion means to them, as well as their experience of discrimination and racism — and their hopes for the future.
