              The author of this film hitchhiked from Tarragona to Pakistan with the object of shooting a film in the so-called “Islamic” countries, and doing so in a fashion that is different from the usual media stereotypes that pigeon-hole women. For thirteen months, she travelled and lived in Bosnia, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Unveiled Views portrays the lives of five women she met during her sojourn. These women have chosen art as a way to express themselves: public performances, cinema, music, poetry and dance are the tools they use -each in her own particular way- to unveil a personal vision of life.

              A quest for Al Khadir الخضر‎, the inner master. Al Khadir, a character generally unknown in Western culture, occupies a very important place in the popular and mystical knowledge of the countries of the Islamic rhizome, although its origins go back to ancient times. Al Khadir, literally the one who greens, inhabits the in-between world, the no-man's land, the fine interstice between the real and the unreal, life and death, sleep and wakefulness,.... this place is called Al Barzaj, the Isthmus. Where he passes, everything greens up, even the tracks of his footsteps are immediately covered with grass.

              Sufismo para la Paz

              Sufism is the original Islam, in contrast with the Islam that we see nowadays. Sufism doesn't accept any form of fanatism or violence. In these days, when a war between civizations threatens the world, any serious intend for the understanding between East and West cultures is more than necessary. This documentary leads to the comprehension of the Islam's original philosophy, through the interviews with some sufi masters (Sheikhs) and their followers around the world, and giving special attention to the chapter about the so-called “Islamic Terrorism”.

              “The opening of a Muslim oratory in a building in Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Barcelona), for the celebration of Ramadan in October 2004 sparked a confrontation with dye intolerance among the residents of the city and the City. No Mosque! is a documentary of dialog and reflection that analyzes causes and consequences of this conflict on the basis of testimony of all of its protagonists.” We see the escalating pressure from one section of the neighborhood, the solidarity of others (the Ateneu Popular), the pathetic response of the City Council and the Muslim community's banishment to a prayer room made from shipping containers among wire fences in an Industrial Zone... A fractal that is being repeated exponentially throughout the country.

              Fez is one of the North African cities to have had most madrassas, of great architectural beauty. Madrassas, former Koran schools and now open for visits as public monuments, formerly provided one of the functions that raised Fez to the height of its splendour: the study of Islamic tradition and the body of laws and regulations governing social life. They were also the home of the students. Madrassas: Bu Inaniyya (1350), al-Attarin (1323), Seffarin (1280), al-Sahri (1321).

              Fez is the Moroccan city with the liveliest tradition of artisans. Far from being "just a job", the activity of the artisan reflects a whole conception of the world and a way of experiencing time and giving it meaning. This native wisdom is passed down from parents to children, from the maalem, the master, to the apprentice.
