'The Other Arabs' is a documentary film in progress tackling the life, contributions, and cultural identity of non-Moslem Arab minorities in the Arab world by focusing on Jewish and Druze Arabs. This has never been attempted before, a two-part series on each of these communities. INEAS is awaiting funding from interested foundations and donors. All the interviews for part I on the Jews have been completed. The interviews with the Druze community will commence in Janauary 2010. The support of the Druze community will be appreciated to complete this worthy project. In these two trailers, you will watch the testimonies of Jewish Arabs from Iraq. Some were born there and others their parents were born in Iraq.

In the list of propaganda machine diatribes against the Iraqi government and people prior to the 2003 war and occupation, the Iraqi Marshes received a considerable amount or attention. In this interview conducted by Wafaa' Al-Natheema in January 2009, Dr. Faleh Al-Khayat sheds light on the project behind the drying of some parts (but not all) of the Marshes, providing unique information about the history of the project going back as early as 1970s and evaluating it after the 2003 occupation.
