Islam, Belfast and Me tells the stories and experiences of several Muslim families in Northern Ireland, set against the backdrop of their community trying to find a new home to meet and worship in.

For many decades, Muslims have been quietly living, studying and working in Northern Ireland, but with events elsewhere in the world and with their numbers growing, this community is increasingly coming under the spotlight. Islam, Belfast and Me meets several families from a range of backgrounds and shows what it means to be Muslim in Northern Ireland. Viewers get an insight into the faith and see Belfast from a different perspective. Belfast Islamic Centre has been home to this community since the 1970s. It's a mosque, a community centre and a social and cultural meeting point. Belfast's mosque is unusual as 42 nationalities pray side by side. Typically mosques are formed according to nationality, but in Belfast it doesn't matter what nationality you are or what branch of Islam you belong to - all are welcome. But their existing home is now too small and the community needs a new home.
