The documentary was produced by the BBC and is hosted by anthropologist Akbar Ahmad. Struggling With Modernity examines the conflicts the Islam world confronts in adapting to life in the new millennium. It includes a look at the Iranian revolution, a symbolic act of denunciation of modern life, and the challenges Muslims face in conforming religious practices to the demands of contemporary law, science, and politics.
