AmericanEast

AmericanEast is a 2008 American drama film about Arab-Americans living in Los Angeles after the September 11 attacks. The story examines long-held misunderstandings about Arabic and Islamic culture, and puts a human face on a segment of the American population about whom most Americans know nothing, but who today are of particular interest to them, either from curiosity or suspicion.[citation needed ] The story highlights the pressures under which many Arab-Americans now live by focusing on the points-of-view of three main characters.
