The Riz Test, inspired by Riz Ahmed's viral speech on minority representation, is a litmus test that holds Hollywood films to account for Muslim representation. Shaf Choudry of The Riz Test joins Nouri, Hasnain and Ali to talk Hollywood's horrible track record of Islamophobic tropes, why and how he co-founded The Riz Test, and whether or not the tides are changing with the emergence of Muslim Hollywood A-listers such as Riz, Hasan Minhaj, Ramy Youssef and others.
