A FREE screening of "Dishing Democracy," a documentary that goes behind the scenes at Arab television channel MBC in Cairo for an inside look at the hit all-female talk show, "Kalam Nawaem." The film provides a nuanced portrait of four Arab women harnessing the power of transnational satellite TV to boldly and effectively push social reform. With exclusive access to both the private and the professional lives of the hosts and producers, the cameras capture censorship discussions, tension and camaraderie in the dressing room, and viewer reactions on the Arab street.
This event is FREE and OPEN to the public. Light Refreshments will be served.
