Earlier today, NPR Atlanta (PBA) broadcasted a news piece on our Link TV win intercut with soundbytes from Colin Ferri and myself! To listen to it online, check out the PBA Website here! Also, Colin Ferri got featured in his hometown newspaper, The Providence Journal! We hope you enjoy reading/listening to them! Thanks again to everyone who’s covered our film, as well as tons of thanks to Link TV, One Nation For All, and Fenton Communications – especially Yasmin Hamidi for all their work in getting this contest covered and featured!

And the most humbling thing out of all this coverage is Wake Forest University’s new course MLS 833, Re-imaging Islam in the West, where Arab in America will be discussed, critiqued, and debated alongside my hero’s essay/book/documentary: Jack Shaheen’s Reel Bad Arabs. Check out the link below to go see more information on WFU’s new course.
