In this discussion, moderated by journalist Anchal Vohra, we ask journalists and filmmakers Tilo Gummel, Raed Andoni and Zeva Oelbaum, what is the first draft of the Arab world’s history? Even in the 21st century misleading and sometimes false imagery of the Arab world travels globally. Journalists Tilo Gummel will share experiences from covering the fall of ISIS in Baghouz and Raqqa, and Anchal Vohra will compare how reporting on areas such as India, Afghanistan and Russia differs from reporting on the Middle East. Filmmaker Zeva Oelbaum looks into covering the story of Gertrude Bell in Letters from Baghdad (2016) while Raed Andoni explores his latest feature Ghost Hunting (2017) and how it tells the stories of Palestinians held in Israeli detention centers. We ask our panelists how does the history of the Arab world change alongside the ever-changing environments of film and journalism?
