Send us Fan Mail

The new Netflix comedy “Mo” is based on the life of Houston comedian Mo Amer. Mo Amer is a Palestinian-American Muslim born in Kuwait, whose family fled to the U.S. during the first Gulf War in the early 1990s. “Mo” spotlights Amer’s identity as a Muslim, a Palestinian, a refugee and an asylum seeker.

Hanan and Lina share their thoughts on the first-ever American show starring a Palestinian with a Palestinian family that tells an authentic Palestinian experience that is rarely presented in TV and popular culture.
