Unity Productions Foundation (UPF) is a Washington, DC-based organization dedicated to promoting peace and understanding through the media. With a focus on Muslim engagement, history, and culture, UPF produces films and educational projects that aim to bridge cultural divides and foster dialogue. Their latest film project, "Lamya's Poem," tells the inspiring story of a 12-year-old Syrian refugee girl who finds solace and strength in the poetry of Rumi, a 13th-century poet and fellow refugee. Through their films, workshops, and outreach efforts, UPF strives to create a positive and truthful image of Muslims, encouraging dialogue and building bridges between different communities.
UPF also works in Hollywood through their consultancy project, MOST (Muslims on Screen and Television), providing research and expert networks to help develop authentic Muslim characters and storylines. Their impact extends beyond the entertainment industry, as they explore the intersection of neuroscience and peacebuilding in their Emmy-nominated film, "Sultan and the Saint." By incorporating the perspective of neuroscience, UPF aims to challenge fear and dehumanizing rhetoric, promoting empathy and understanding among different religious and cultural groups. Through their films and outreach efforts, UPF continues to spark dialogue and promote peace in our society.
