Series on women in Muslim society. Amani visits The Netherlands and meets Bad Brya, a rapper of Moroccan origin who tackles issues of peace in the Middle East in her lyrics.

Amani Zain makes her first trip to the Netherlands and hooks up with Bad Brya, a Dutch rapper of Moroccan origin who addresses issues from peace in the Middle East to women and Islam in her lyrics. She 'makes over' Amani as a B girl. Amani flicks through MSLM magazine, the cool one off Muslim fashion magazine, and visits the set of Bimbo's and Boerka's - a Dutch TV show which is co-hosted by the Halal girls - three hijabi sisters from a conservative Moroccan family.

She meets a doctor who performs fifty hymen reconstructions a year on young Muslim girls desperate to appear as virgins on their wedding night. 

Her happiest moment is a Dutch Moroccan wedding where a 'negaffa' - wedding stylist - orchestrates up to five changes of bridal outfit on the big day.
