Episode synopsis
There are 3,000 Muslims living in the Toda City area of Saitama Prefecture. Although people tend to have negative preconceptions about Muslims after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the true face of Muslims is friendly and pleasant. In October, they observe Ramadan, a month-long period of daytime fasting. During the last three days of Ramadan, we closely follow the lives of these people and hear their frank opinions about their work, families, and faith.
