Things Arab Men Say
Фильм және анимация
This documentary paints a picture of Arab men that is vastly different from what we’re accustomed to. In this antidote to mainstream-media depictions of Arabs as terrorists and extremists, we get to meet Jay, Ghassan and their friends, who gather at Jamal’s Eden Barber Shop to discuss politics, religion and family over a cut and a shave. Often funny, sometimes sad, this engaging film documents the challenges these men face integrating into Canadian life while preserving their identity and culture.

This is one of thEE best shorts I've seen/watched in a long while, complicated social and world issues broke down by Canadian Arabs in a poetic and very fun way. My hats off to you gentleman for doing this. Best to all of you and your families.
I liked the music
Favorable treatment… well that explains why the middle eastern customer in front of me in line at the Panda Express in Mississauga got 2 times as much shrimp as white me did ordering the same thing. Glad that’s cleared up
Thought this was the Canadian national film board

It is the National Film Board of Canada, NFB. Ou en francais, Office National du Film du Canada, ONF. It is even stamped on the thumbnail. Hopefully this clears up any obfuscation you have. Also, this info is available online, the library or your yellow pages. WELCOME TO 🇨🇦CANADA, ENJOY THE SHOW.
