Let's Talk About It: Muslim Journeys Film Series: Reel Bad Arabs

Armacost Library, Campus Diversity & Inclusion, Redlands Peace Academy, and A.K. Smiley Public Library have received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association to host events that highlight Islam and the cultures, histories, and stories of Muslims in the United States and around the world.

The third film screening for our Let's Talk About It: Muslim Journeys Film Series will be of the documentary film Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People. The documentary film is based on the scholarship of Dr. Jack Shaheen, Professor Emeritus of Mass Communications at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. The 2006 documentary film is based on Dr. Shaheen's book with the same title. Dr. Patrick Wing, Assistant Professor of History at University of Redlands, will introduce the film and facilitate a question-and-answer session following the screening. This event will be held on Thursday, February 20, 2014 at Gregory Hall, Room 161, from 7 to 9 p.m.
