Скачать или смотреть Behind the Counter at Melbourne's Halal Butcher

Houssam owns a Halal butchery in the heart of Melbourne’s largest Muslim neighbourhood. At 32, he is a devout Muslim, a loving husband and a highly successful businessman. Wanting to provide the best for his customers, Houssam created an iconic Australian dish, a halal meat pie. Asghar is from Pakistan and is his longest serving employee. Like Houssam, Asghar spends most of his time working and praying, leaving little room for anything else. But the dedication to work is impacting on both of their lives. Houssam has a looming health issue and at 36, Asghar is still a bachelor. While Houssam struggles with his fitness, Asghar waits for his mother in Pakistan to find him a wife.

This episode is from a four part television series called Halal Mate, originally broadcast on SBS television in 2005. It explores different aspects of the lives of Australian Muslims in Melbourne with a particular focus on Sydney Rd Brunswick, the heart of Melbourne's thriving Muslim community.
