A documentary highlighting the historical context of women from various religions and societies around the world covering their hair over the centuries is getting ready for a private screening at the Everyman Cinema, Hampstead in London.

The documentary titled The Tainted Veil is seen as an attempt to soften the ongoing controversies surrounding the Muslim Hijab.
The documentary features interviews with a varied selection of Muslims from Europe who discuss their reasons for choosing to wear the veil, as well as commentary from leading Muslim and non-Muslim specialists on Islamic culture and history.

Executive producer of the documentary said that head covering is a recurring topic in most places. It is a social issue that needed to be looked at a wide perspective and there is a lack of debate regarding the ways and reasons behind the veil, adding that The Tainted Veil presents discussions surrounding the hijab for those searching for a better understanding.
