"Sobering...illuminating...thrilling," raves Ernest Hardy of the Village Voice about "Valentino's Ghost," a film that shows how the U.S. foreign policy agenda in the Middle East drives and shapes the mainstream media's and Hollywood's portrayals of Arabs, Muslims and Islam.
The film lays bare the truths behind taboo subjects that are conspicuously avoided, or merely treated as sound bites, by the mainstream American media: “Why do they hate us?” “Why do we hate them?” What were the actual events that led to the 9/11 attacks? What are the politics behind the U.S.-Israeli relationship? Why is there a robust debate about these subjects in Europe, the Arab World and in Israel itself, but not in the U.S.?
Come to a FREE screening, and Q&A with director Michael Singh. Open the public, at The Islamic Institute, 1220 N State College Road, Anaheim, 92806. Tel 714 533 6271, and be prepared for an intense roller coaster ride ranging from profound to hilarious and back.
