A chance for open discussion about a sensitive topic is being offered as the focus of an upcoming town hall.
“The Feeling of Being Watched: A Town Hall Discussion on Profiling and Surveillance” will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 9 at The Annex of the Arab American National Museum, 13624 Michigan Ave., Dearborn.
The town hall, which is free to attend by RSVP, will feature discussions on profiling and surveillance, an issue that affects many areas, including Arab and Muslim communities.
Award-winning freelance journalist and former “Al Jazeera America” producer Assia Bounadoui will appear to present a portion of her feature-length directorial debut, “The Feeling of Being Watched.”
A town hall-style discussion will follow with Bounadoui and Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Additional panelists will be announced.
A question-and-answer session with the audience and panelists will close out the evening.
