About the Film
Discover the Hidden History of Islam in Colonial Mexico
Join AMCF and the Montessori Learning Center for a special screening of Ojalá Supieras (“I Wish You Knew”) — a powerful documentary that uncovers the often-forgotten Islamic roots woven into the fabric of Hispanic and Hispanic American culture.
From the Arabic words embedded in everyday Spanish, to the architectural details of colonial Mexico, to the culinary traditions passed down through generations — this film reveals a shared history that has long been hidden in plain sight. The evening includes the full film screening, a talk by filmmaker and scholar Mariam Saada, PhD, and a live Q&A session.
