I wonder if I could enlist the help of folks on this project?: 




1. A colleague of mine in multicultural counseling studies is trying to find a 
documentary film concerning an Iraq War vet trying to understand Islam. It is 
not the film of US military guard Terry Holdbrooks, who converted to Islam. It 
is another related story, about an American Iraqi War vet and Iraqi-American 
community college student meeting and working through their issues and 
differences. Any help would be appreciated. I seem to be striking out with a 
Google-fail brain freeze. 

2. Said colleague would like to use this story as a kind of thematic lead for a 
series of 5-6 films on the theme of "Veteran/Veterans." In this context I think 
veteran can be widely interpreted, from something *about* veterans, in the 
sense of Coming Home perhaps (not a documentary, I realize) to videos more 
conceptual in approach. "Veterans" of immigration conflicts, for instance. 

If any of you have some suggestions I would greatly appreciate any serious 
tips. 




If any of you have some recent productions that might fit, that would be of 
interest also.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
