Synopsis

Whether a veil of the soul, the mind or the body, the layers of the veil in history and the many meanings behind it will be revealed. The hijab is a head covering, and ‘women are either judged for wearing the hijab or for not wearing it’. In ‘The Tainted Veil’, the challenges surrounding these ideas are exposed in a debate featuring diverse guests and extraordinary stories.
