DESCRIPTION:ANSWER Film Screening and Potluck Dinner\n“Reel Bad Arabs”\n\nThis 
 groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic 
 history that has run virtually unchallenged from the earliest days of 
 silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed 
 author Dr. Jack Shaheen, the film 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.\n\nShaheen shows 
 how the persistence of these images over time has served to naturalize 
 prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture, in the process 
 reinforcing a narrow view of individual Arabs and the effects of specific 
 US domestic and international policies on their lives. 50 min., 
 2006\n\nDiscussion will follow the film. \n\n
