Live from Bethlehem tells MNA's remarkable story.

Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People - Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, this groundbreaking documentary dissects the slanderous representation of Arabs throughout cinematic history, which has run virtually unchallenged from the earliest days of silent films to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters.Due to a gift from a generous donor, the price of this DVD for public libraries and high schools has been reduced to $10 to make it as accessible as possible.

Arna's Children - This personal narrative tells the story of a children's theatre group on the West Bank that was established by Arna Mer Khamis, who grew up in a Zionist family and later married a Palestinian Arab. Arna's Children shifts back and forth in time to show the children in rehearsal from 1989-1996, and then revisits them later to discover the tragic fates that awaited three of them.
