Storyline

After 9-11, some former US Ambassadors decided to find a way to examine how the Arab world views the U.S., and how we in the U.S. view them. Interviewing Chicagoans in Casablanca, and Casablancans in Chicago, filmmaker Richard Martini digs into the differences between the cultures, as well as the amazing similarities. Also, interviews with a female judge, a female member of Parliament in Morocco, as well as a female soybean trader at The Chicago Board of Trade highlight the similarities we don't normally see or pay attention to. The hour long documentary is narrated by Sally Kellerman
