The Arab Americans

The untold story of 200 years of the contributions that Arab-Americans have made to the American fabric. The film tells the story of the Arab-American immigrant experience through the stories of Arab-Americans who have made contributions to the fabric of America through their dedicated pursuit of the American Dream, including Jamie Farr, General John Abizaid, Senator George Mitchell, John Zogby, and more. With historical immigration patterns as background, we will explore the personal stories of Arab-Americans and how they have contributed to the collective American experience. At a time when the media tends to paint Arab peoples and culture with the broad brush of terrorism, it is increasingly important to present a positive image of the many people of Middle Eastern, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula who have made America their home, and highlight their American journey.
