The screening will be followed by a panel discussion; participants TBA.

Delve into the Middle East's most urgent issues, from peace and freedom to democracy and religion, from gender issues to the clash of civilizations. Lewis' books include The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror, and What Went Wrong?: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East, and the upcoming Faith and Power: Religion and Politics in the Middle East (Oxford University Press, USA, May 5, 2010).
