Team Taliban provides a provocative glimpse into the world of independent professional wrestling. Adeel Alam, a Muslim wrestler who plays a terrorist in the ring, struggles to balance his devout faith with a life-long passion for wrestling. The result is a powerful documentary that explores the impact of The War on Terror in American culture through the unique lens of professional wrestling.

Wrestling as half of the "Team Taliban" duo, Adeel discovered his character's charged political nature incited immediate and passionate reactions from the crowd--the goal of any successful pro-wrestler. However, as a Muslim-American himself, Adeel has to contend with the images and stereotypes his character enacts. He certainly gets the audience's attention, but is the image he is placing in the spotlight the one he thinks the world should see?
