Michael Reynolds sent me an e-mail asking me whether I wanted to be involved in a project he’s a part of. The project:
This April I’ll be in London, Paris, Madrid and either Amsterdam or Copenhagen with a documentary film crew. I’m looking for interview subjects to talk about attitudes toward the US, the Iraq war, and the question of whether or not we are in a clash of civilizations with Islam.
Of course I would love to be a part of this project, of this documentary, so I happily agreed. However, he is still looking for other Europeans as well:
The essential requirement is that the participant be 1) not an American, 2) able to discuss complex subjects in understandable English. I’m looking for locals, age and gender irellevant, though we have a particular need for Muslims.
We are also looking for venues — cafes, apartment, dorm rooms — where we can shoot.
Anyone who has useful suggestions please email me at mtakhallus (at) mac (dot) com. Put CWTE in the subject line.
This subject truly is fascinating and I think that spending more attention to it, now through a documentary, is absolutely necessary. If Europe and the U.S. want to continue being ‘friends’ and if they want to effectively fight the problems of today, we should understand each other. In order to understand each other, we must communicate with each other.
Here is the company that will shoot the documentary: Taproot Productions.
