Things Arab Men Say: Film Screening and Panel Discussion

  • Jackman Hall (AGO) 317 Dundas Street West Toronto, ON, M5T 1G4 Canada (map)

In response to the vilification of the Arab community by influential voices in the public realm, director Nisreen Baker brings us Things Arab Men Say, a short documentary that paints a very different picture of this multi-faceted group. Join Jay, Ghassan, and their friends as they gather at Jamal’s Eden Barber Shop for a haircut, a shave, and a lively discussion on politics, religion and identity.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring:
- Filmmaker Nisreen Baker
- Arif Virani, MP for Parkdale – High Park & Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage (Multiculturalism)
- Kamal Al-Solaylee, award-winning author and professor of journalism at Ryerson University
