hijabi girls is a documentary film that examines the lives of hijabis, Muslim American girls who wear the hijab or headscarf. The film raises questions about how these girls negotiate their Muslim identities while political Islam continues to dominate the public discourse. In the midst of American popular culture, hijabis are set apart by many differences–but most conspicuously by their dress. The hijab serves as the central visual motif in the film, and raises questions as to its function and meaning as the film unravels how a piece of cloth is transformed into a potent political and religious symbol.
