I want people to leave the theater with a greater understanding of the rich cultural heritage of Pakistan. Song of Lahore moves beyond headlines and stereotypes and shows that a vast majority of Pakistanis are not perpetrators of religious violence - they are victims of it. The beautiful cultural heritage of the region belies its image in the West as monolithically religious, intolerant, and violent Picture Quote #1

When you cut down to the micro-level in the West, I think we have a great deal to be worried about. And it’s odd because the American leadership, again in both parties, tends to take comfort in the idea that bin Laden is just an inspirational symbol now Picture Quote #1

There’s a great documentary on Tupac called ‘Resurrection’ about the last few years of Tupac’s life and how he transformed. And, ironically, how this East Coast rapper became this West Coast icon, back when all that Death Row/Sean Combs stuff was going on Picture Quote #1

Using cold facts and figures, leaders throughout the West must become more transparent with their citizens in explaining their decisions and their choices in global markets Picture Quote #1

Especially in the West, people want to understand Asia on a deeper level because it’s become the engine of the world economy, like it or not Picture Quote #1

The more Israel sinks into the West Bank, the more it is delegitimized and isolated, the more the world focuses on Israel’s colonialism rather than Iran’s nuclear enrichment, the more people call for a single democratic state in all of historic Palestine Picture Quote #1

There are a bunch of places to stay in Des Moines, but I’d suggest finding a place on the west side of town. It’s a great urban area that has a lot to offer tourists Picture Quote #1
