DESCRIPTION:After the film, join us for a dynamic panel on the impact of Islamophobia & 
 anti-Arab racism on community members, students, teachers! How can we  
 effectively confront it in our neighborhoods, classrooms, workplaces and 
 schools?\n\nFeaturing acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, REEL BAD ARABS 
 explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs, 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. The film 
 underscores the need for counter-narratives that do justice to the 
 diversity, humanity, and richness of Arab history and culture. It also 
 shows how US domestic and international policies affect the lives of 
 individual Arabs. \n\nPANEL of EDUCATOR/ACTIVISTS:\nLara Kiswani  is an
