Metro Detroit is home to one of the largest populations of Arab Americans in the US. Arabs who are Lebanese, Syrian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Palestinian, Moroccan and Yemeni have cultivated communities here.

The Arab American National Museum in Dearborn was founded in 2005 to celebrate the Arab world and solidify pride in being Arab American. Alongside the opening of the museum, the Arab Film Festival debuted. 

Dave Serio is the curator of the Arab Film Festival. He joined The Metro on Tuesday to talk about the festival's 20th anniversary and the films being presented, including “No Other Land,” an Oscar-winning film not carried by American streaming services. 

Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on-demand.
