American Thoughts on the Middle East

Posted originally on 3/29/07. The 20 minute DVD, "What I'm Thinking: American Thoughts on the Middle East" was released today. This project by Rebecca Glotfelty enables Americans and Middle Easterners to exchange ideas. The project began in October 2005 when Rebecca interviewed and photographed over a dozen Americans with varying social and political views on the Middle East. She then displayed these photographs and written statements (in English and Arabic) at An Najah National University in Nablus, Palestine in December 2005. The documentary includes the original statements by the American participants and the Palestinian students' reaction to the exhibit captured on video. RPM hopes that civic organizations, schools and universities will use this video to help foster discussion regarding U.S./Middle East relations. The video is currently available through RPM for $10 plus postage and handling. Contact us if you would like to be a distributor for this program.
