REEL BAD ARABS Trailer at While the Earth Burns
by Andre Soares
Jeremy Kirouac on Sut Jhally’s Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People at While the Earth Burns:
"This groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged form 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."
