AND OTHERS. See below for more information!

BROTHERS AND OTHERS: Tuesday, April 26th, from 7-9pm @ IDF

BROTHERS AND OTHERS is a one-hour documentary on the impact of 9/11 on
Muslims and Arabs in America. The atrocities witnessed by the world on
September 11th were hateful acts by terrorists who chose to view their
victims not as people but as symbols of a perceived evil. By jailing
thousands of Arabs, Muslims and South Asians without evidence or due
process, is America perpetuating the cycle of hate and ignorance, which
claimed so many innocent lives?

Featuring interviews with such experts as Noam Chomsky and James Zogby,
the film follows a number of immigrants and Americans as they struggle in
the heightened climate of hate, FBI and INS investigations, and economic
hardships that erupted following the attacks on the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon. For more information about the film, check out
www.arabfilm.com/item/244/. Following the film, there will be a
facilitated discussion!
