Crescent Street Films sat down with the New York City cast and crew of "The Domestic Crusaders". Debuting in the heart of NYC, the play sold out the Nuyorican Theater for four consecutive weekends, playing to audiences including Amelia director Mira Nair and Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison.

The modern classic focuses on a day in the life of a modern Muslim Pakistani-American family of six eclectic, unique members, who convene at the family house to celebrate the twenty-first birthday of the youngest child.

With a background of 9/11 and the scapegoating of Muslim Americans, the tensions and sparks fly among the three generations, culminating in an intense family battle as each "crusader" struggles to assert and impose their respective voices and opinions, while still attempting to maintain and understand that unifying thread that makes them part of the same family.
