When an Arab American community center brings an Egyptian poet to perform a 1,000-year-old epic, sparks fly. The result is a familiar American tale: parents make an effort to pass on cherished traditions and language, while their Americanized children are at home in a world of fast food and video games.

With mesmerizing imagery, humor, and warmth, Tales From Arab Detroit blends poetry, song, and dance into everyday stories of cultural conflict and resilience within the largest Arab community in North America.
