From Ali's resume:
"Filmmaker of many short films and 2 feature films in the works. Films have been featured in various festivals, including the New York Independent Film & Video Festival. Currently working on first feature film and Documentary - The Taliban's Bride, a movie about Islamic arranged marriage, geared towards non-Muslim audiences. Currently in pre-production for first narrative feature film to be done on digital. My work has also been featured on The History Channel's INSIDE ISLAM, available on DVD at Amazon.com! ...Urban & Environmental Filmmaking is a major that I created at my college (Occidental) which allows me to study social and environmental problems by working at urban Public Schools and analyzing urban environemental problems through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). After studying, I come up with a solution and then I write a screenplay about the entire experience (or turning it into a story) and then filming (not as a documentary, but as a real movie). The point is to take our worst problems and tell the story about them so that everyone can understand it, for the purpose of overcoming it. ... Activist making many media appearances on radio and television. Highlights include appearring on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect twice"
