UBBC's Friday Night at the Movies - Fireside Room

Friday, Nov. 7: Come to Movie Night, sponsored by the Social Awareness and Action Committee. a movie night for adults and kids. The night will start with a potluck supper at 6 p.m., followed by Reel Bad Arabs for adults and an age-appropriate movie for kids at 7 p.m.

Reel Bad Arabs examines how Hollywood has stereotyped Arabs, portraying them as sinister sheikhs and blood-thirsty terrorists. The film looks at the origin of these images and their similarities with anti-Semitism and racist stereotypes from the past.

Please join us for supper, a film and discussion at UBBC's inaugural Friday Night at the Movies.
