In Tunisia, the majority of the population identifies as Sunni Muslim. However, the country has a long history of religious diversity, including other Muslim traditions, as well as Christian, Jewish, and other belief groups.
This diversity is visible in churches, mosques, synagogues, and other religious sites in Tunis and across the country. For example, the Jewish community has been present since ancient times. The El Ghriba synagogue on Djerba Island, one of the oldest in the world, remains an important pilgrimage site.
These films offer an opportunity to explore some of the religious diversity in Tunisia.
