Fareed tells the story of a young Berber dressmaker, who is passionate about poetry and calligraphy. In Montreal where he lives and all over the world, the news media is dominated by stories about violence and barbaric acts done in the name of Islam. In his own sensitive way, Fareed battles against the fear and ignorance emphasized by the rise of jihad and terrorism.
