WSU student group to host screening of documentary on film portrayals of Arabs

Friday, 11.06.2009, 10:07pm

Shaheen's research concluded that when Arab characters are included in Hollywood films, they play the role of villain about 97 percent of the time.
The Middle Eastern Law Student Association is scheduled to host a screening of the Jack Sheehan film "Reel Bad Arabs" on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 3-5 p.m. at Wayne State University.

The 2006 film is subtitled "How Hollywood Vilifies a People" and focuses on what the acclaimed author Sheehan calls a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged since the early days of movies.

The event will be held in room 1535 of the Classroom Building on the WSU campus.
