The 50 minute film is based on Arab American film authority Jack Shaheen's ground breaking book of the same name. Filled with numerous clips and commentary from films of past decades to the present, this documentary examines how the Arab people have been portrayed in the visual media. Professor Jhally will be present to introduce the film and conduct a question and answer period after the screening.The film was chosen to be screened the following week at the Dubai Film Festival.
