Created by Justin Marks, Starz’ series, Counterpart, transports viewers to a mysterious world hidden beneath the surface of everyday existence. Betty Gabriel’s character, Naya Temple, doesn’t conform to the usual media portrayals of Muslims. That is what made her character and this series so impactful. ---------- Watch all videos from the 2019 MPAC Media Awards playlist. http://bit.ly/2VVEE8Y Presented by the Muslim Public Affairs Council's (MPAC) Hollywood Bureau.
