Our Oasis Project

Mission two · The Journey

The search begins in the Americas.

We're traveling the world documenting Muslim communities and searching for the land where the Sanctuary will be built, starting in Mexico, down through Central and South America, then wherever the search leads.

First field notes: meet the communities, film the story, learn what kind of land can hold the Sanctuary.
