First they were called 'Guest-workers', then, foreigners and now 'Allah's Daughters Without Rights'.

BERLINER explores the lives of first, second and third generation women and their real struggles, as Muslims, and as part of the largest minority group in Berlin: post-war, post-Wall and post 9/11.
