Overview

The Enemy Within (Musulmani di Bologna) is a documentary presenting six stories from the Italian Muslim community in Bologna, capturing the contradictions and tensions that define their daily existence. In a city where intolerance and dialogue coexist on the same streets, the film moves through ghetto neighborhoods, second-generation immigrant experiences, petty crime, and the textures of everyday Muslim life in Italy. A ground-level portrait of integration, identity, and exclusion, the documentary exposes the social fault lines running beneath the surface of a culturally diverse European city.
