DESCRIPTION:\nReel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies An Entire People\nSaturday, July 
 25th, 7:00pm\nJoyce Beers Community Center\n1230 Cleveland Ave., Hillcrest 
 in the city of San Diego\n\nFilm Description:\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\n \nThis film is an insightful 
 analysis of the media representations of Arabs peoples in Hollywood. It 
 succinctly shows how racism and ethnocentrism pervades in Hollywood as the 
 industry plays on prejudicial stereotypes in order to maximize profits in 
 our white supremacist social order. With much of its scrutiny focusing on 
 media post 9/11, this film is a timely look at how representations in media 
 can foster prejudice and cultivate fear.\n\n
