The Arab Americans: Film Screening & Discussion

Join us as we partner with VCU's College of Humanities and Science's Richard T. Robertson School of Media & Culture for a documentary film screening of The Arab Americans followed by a discussion and Q&A with filmmaker Abe Kasbo.

Filmed in eleven states and in production for over seven-years, The Arab Americans places the Arab American Immigrant experience within the context of American History and experience. The groundbreaking documentary is a uniquely American story that provides viewers with a first-ever glimpse of the Arab Americans' experience told through the eyes of famous and everyday people. Mapping the arc of American History, the film explores early and multiple waves of immigration along with the tremendous impact of 9/11 on the Arab American community and its challenges and dreams in light of the zeitgeist.
