[ F K ] Planet of the Arabs: How Hollywood Sees the Middle East

Planet of the Arabs: How Hollywood Sees the Middle East

Official selection of the Sundance Film Festival 2005

A trailer-esque montage spectacle of Hollywood's relentless vilification and dehumanization of Arabs and Muslims.
Inspired by the book "Reel Bad Arabs" by Dr. Jack Shaheen.

Out of 1000 films that have Arab & Muslim characters (from the year 1896 to 2000) 12 were postive depictions, 52 were even handed and the rest of the 90O and so were negative.
