- DirectorIlan ZivStarsRachida BrakniDenis CharbitHugolin Chevrette-LandesqueDirector Ilan Ziv traces the origins of antisemitism in France from the Middle Ages to the Dreyfus Affair. Combining personal and collective narratives, Ziv showcases how the depiction of "the Jew" in society established an ideology of hate that eventually led to the Holocaust. In the aftermath of the war, a devastated France continued this ideology of antisemitism that set the stage for a modern wave of anti-Jewish sentiment and attacks, including the murders of Ilan Halimi and Mireille Knoll.
- An alarming two-part series documenting the sudden rise of anti-Semitism on the left, including Democratic Party politics, the U.S. Congress, the LGBTQ community and the progressive Left. The series includes never-before-seen interviews with progressive dissidents on the Left including Muslims who openly attack the leaders of the anti-Semitic movement. The series shows how the anti-Semitic Left has succeeded in inserting blatantly anti-Semitic issues-from BDS to anti-Zionism-into the established, progressive, Leftist agenda. The film highlights the bigotry of anti-Semitic national Women's March leaders Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, as well as showcasing the courageous voices of progressive leaders like Nisi Jacobs (Founder - Women 4 All), Yasmine Mohammed (Author - Confessions of an Ex-Muslim), Hen Mazzig (Israeli Speaker and Advocate - Zig-Zag Initiative), Anila Ali (CEO - American Muslim Women's Empowerment Council) and Debbie Hall (Freelance Journalist). The rise of anti-Semitism internationally has been the highest since World War II. Its infectious entry into the U.S. political system is a warning for us all.
- DirectorJeremy EarpSut JhallyStarsBo DerekAna ObregónJack ShaheenThis groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged form the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs--from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists"--along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, their development at key points in US history, and why they matter so much today. Shaheen shows how the persistence of these images over time has served to naturalize prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture, in the process reinforcing a narrow view of individual Arabs and the effects of specific US domestic and international policies on their lives. By inspiring critical thinking about the social, political, and basic human consequences of leaving these Hollywood caricatures unexamined, the film challenges viewers to recognize the urgent need for counter-narratives that do justice to the diversity and humanity of Arab people and the reality and richness of Arab history and culture.
