Guide to Videos Initiative

Guide to Videos Initiative

The Guide to Videos initiative was born from a simple but powerful belief: that access to quality Islamic documentary and educational film can transform how people understand Islam, Muslims, and the world around them.

In a fragmented media landscape, we curate a library of films that prioritize nuance, empathy, and truth. Our platform brings together documentaries, educational films, and cultural stories — available in multiple languages to ensure that geography and language are never barriers to understanding.

From explorations of faith and Islamic history to personal human stories — our collection is chosen to challenge, inspire, and connect people with authentic Islamic content.

Our Mission

To democratize access to meaningful Islamic video content, support educators who share authentic stories, and build bridges across cultures through the universal language of film.

Submit a Video

We welcome submissions from independent filmmakers, documentarians, and cultural organizations worldwide. If you have a film you believe belongs in our library, here's how to get it to us.

At the core of our mission is a commitment to honoring the dignity, complexity, and beauty of the human experience in all its diversity.

For Channels & Broadcasters

Channel owners often need short films, clips, and visual breaks that carry a meaningful message in broadcast-ready quality. The Guide to Videos initiative publishes advocacy content for satellite television — free of charge and in HD — so that producers of good content and broadcasters can amplify each other's reach.

  • Receive our newly produced films and clips periodically.
  • Obtain logo-free masters for use on your channel.
  • Submit production ideas aligned with your audience for consideration.
  • Feature your channel logo on our site as a strategic partner.
  • Collaborate on translating clips into your broadcast language.
