12. Watermelon Pictures with Munir Atalla

Why are Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims so often portrayed as violent and stupid savages in American film, and how can we change that?

Munir Atalla is the head of production and acquisition at Watermelon Pictures, the newly founded film production and distribution company rooted in Palestinian culture and creativity.

An old friend of Edgar's, Munir speaks about the limits of representation in cinema and the need to produce films that empower and mobilise the Palestinian community.
