Selected by MPAC Hollywood Bureau in 2021 for the Warner Media Writer Development Project, in partnership with The Black List, Jenny Triplett, a seasoned writer of TV, radio, podcasts and best selling author of Surviving Marriage in the 21st Century, has penned a script for an underrepresented demographic of people.
The injustices and hardships of Black farmers has been well documented throughout history. Historical tales of how 40 acres and a mule never manifested after slavery is apart of Black history. Even the disappearance of Black farmers and the lack of generational farming in the US makes great subject matter. When you add an additional demographic to farming, Muslim, that increases the struggles and inequalities.
Ar-Razaaq: Faith, Farming, Family, is a story of discovery about three Black and Muslim families that are living the struggle of 21st Century farming. The documentary will be directed by Rufus Triplett for Dawah International Multimedia. Rufus and Jenny will serve as executive producers.
“We have both been in front of and behind the camera on various TV shows, with our podcast and as international speakers. Being able to do our first media project for an underrepresented audience is something we have been planning for years. When you look at the representation of Black Muslims in Hollywood and on screen today it’s almost non existent. That’s because there needs to be more writers that can represent that. Our stories are not being told and we look forward to being a catalyst for more. This documentary is on top of the pile as I’m literally sitting on multicultural projects that includes a whole range of who we are as Muslims,” said Jenny.
Dawah International Multimedia, based in Atlanta, has produced podcasts, books, TV and radio shows and social justice projects, domestically and internationally. This will be its first documentary production.
