When an Arab American community center brings an Egyptian poet to perform a 1000-year-old epic, sparks fly. The result is a familiar American tale: parents trying to pass on cherished traditions and language, while their children are at home in a world of McDonald's and MTV.
With mesmerizing imagery, humor and warmth, TALES FROM ARAB DETROIT blends voices, poetry, song and dance into everyday stories of cultural conflict and resilience within the largest Arab community in North America.
