Muslim football players from Fordson High School in Dearborn pray in their locker room, in a scene from the film “Fordson: Faith, Fasting, Football.” The documentary film follows team members as they practice during Ramadan, a month when Muslims traditionally fast every day from sunrise to sundown, revealing a community holding onto its Islamic faith and the American Dream while seeking acceptance in post 9/11 America. The film and panel discussion are presented at 1-4 p.m. Jan. 16 in the Michigan Union Ballroom.
