Greetings and Ramadan Kareem,
The Arab American National Museum (AANM) and Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) invite you to our next Cinema Nights at the Museum, which will take place Saturday, March 15, 2025. We are pleased to screen the powerful, sobering documentary, “36 Seconds: Portrait of a Hate Crime” directed by Tarek Albaba. In 2015, three Muslim-American students were executed while eating dinner in their home in Chapel Hill, NC. The film charts the victims’ families’ agonizing overnight pivot from trauma to advocacy as they struggle to prevent their loved ones’ deaths from being dismissed as the result of a random parking dispute. They courageously speak the truth about the hate crime that has destroyed their lives, about the overt and insidious ways Islamophobia plays out in our society and about the need to reform a hate crime system that is broken.
Immediately following the screening, we are pleased to be joined in-person by director Tarek Albaba for an intimate talkback, followed by a delicious Iftar Dinner.
