Synopsis: "Planet of the Arabs (2005) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443610/ is an experimental short on Hollywood’s negative depiction of Arabs and Muslims through the decades. Inspired by Dr. Jack Shaheen’s book 'Reel Bad Arabs', Planet was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival, won the 'Best Editing' award at the CinemaTexas Film Festival and continues to be shown in art exhibitions and used in classrooms as an educational tool on stereotypes in the media." http://www.arabmedialab.org/planet-of-the-arabs-jackie-salloum/ Quote: "Why is it important for the average American to know and care about the Arab stereotype? It is critical because dislike of 'the stranger,' which the Greeks knew as xenophobia, forewarns that when one ethnic, racial, or religious group is vilified, innocent people suffer. History reminds us that the cinema's hateful Arab stereotypes are reminiscent of abuses in earlier times" (Shaheen, J. G., 2003, p.174). Context: Angela Rayner MP (2025).
