Jumu’a: The Gathering

The surfer, the baker, the model, the housewife, the hippy, the former Christian and the Rasta convert all tell the story and customs of the small, energetic community of Murabitun Muslims in Muizenberg. Founded by Scottish convert Abdalqadir as-Sufi, this is a diverse collection of followers of Islam and award-winning director Dylan Valley’s beautifully shot film portraits their lives in a series of personal slices of life as meals are cooked, journeys explained, business conducted and dreams admitted. A warm-hearted look at a community at peace with itself and its surroundings.
