New T324 client Mizan Studios of Berkeley produces documentary films and written works that explore the history of people, places, and ideas; promoting respect and cross cultural exchange. Their film Lost Found is showing tonight on the Detroit Public Broadcasting network, and the DVD is on sale now.
The film, Lost Found, tells the story of the creation, rise and transition of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad’s Nation of Islam (NOI), a movement that challenged African Americans to reclaim their lost identity.
Shareef documents that while Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali exemplified the uncompromising stance that the NOI maintained, it would soon be heading for an abrupt change. Upon the death of Elijah Muhammad, his son the late Imam Wallace D. Mohammed became the new leader.
The film chronicles how then Wallace Mohammed calculatingly changed the NOI’s internal structure and ushered in a new thinking, sparking what many consider the greatest transformation to universal humanity in U.S. history.
Lost Found will air on Detroit Public Television (WTVS) on May 7, 2012, at 10 p.m, in the city that gave birth to the Nation of Islam.
