Rundown Show: Episode 3 - Stereotyping Arabs in Hollywood productions



This week on the Rundown we talked about Arab stereotypes in Hollywood productions. We discussed many movies, shows, and other TV and cinema productions that have framed a certain ideology that perceives Arabs in the worst ways. Even though we highlighted the fact that some shows have tried to steer away from this way of thinking but the fact remains that many western shows still portray Arab as terrorists or as people living in the desert with camels. This week we were also able to interview Dr. Mohammed El Masry, a Mass Communications professor at AUC, who talked to us about issue that we earlier discussed in our roundtable discussion.
