>>> Reel Bad Arabs-- 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.

>>> 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.
