What is Said
About...Arabs and Terrorism
NY Premiere The "war on terrorism" has always been as ideological as it has been economic, physical, or political. Follow Arab-American Professor Bassam Haddad through eleven countries as he pieces together the candid opinions, and divergent rationale of dozens of experts, high-ranking politicians, scholars, and people on the street to revel the ideas that fuel this "war on terror." Part of a much larger documentary project, What is Said about Arabs and Terrorism is captivating and insightful due to the raw honesty and extreme diversity of perspectives brought to the roundtable. Followed by Q & A with director Bassam Hadda |

Reel Bad
Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People NY
Premiere This groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has gone virtually unchallenged form the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, Reel Bad Arabs explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs--from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists"--along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, their development at key points in US history, and why they matter so much today. Preceded by: A brilliantly edited mélange of found footage exploring the Arab alien in American TV and cinema inspired by Jack Shaheen’s book Reel Bad Arabs. Followed by Q & A with distinguished scholar Dr. Jack Shaheen and director Jackie Salloum |
