The Domestic Crusaders focuses on a day in the life
of a modern Muslim Pakistani-American family of six
eclectic, unique members, who convene at the family house to
celebrate the twenty-first birthday of the youngest
child. With a background of 9-11 and the scapegoating
of Muslim Americans, the tensions and sparks fly among the
three generations, culminating in an intense family battle
as each "crusader" struggles to assert and impose their
respective voices and opinions, while still attempting to
maintain and understand that unifying thread that makes them
part of the same family.
