The Muslim Film Festival in Fremont will feature a virulently antisemitic and anti-American Turkish film: Muslim Film Festival includes anti-U.S. movie. (Hat tip: TS.)
FREMONT — The U.S. debut of the popular but controversial Turkish action movie “Valley of Wolves: Iraq,” starring Billy Zane and Gary Busey, will be among the screenings Saturday during the Muslim Film Festival at the Naz 8 Cinema.
Critics say the film — at $10 million the most expensive ever made in Turkey — villifies the United States, showing American soldiers in Iraq killing a little boy in front of his mother and randomly gunning down dozens of other people.
Zane plays a CIA officer and self-professed “peacekeeper sent by God,” and Busey is cast as a Jewish American at Abu Ghraib prison who harvests human organs to sell to rich people in New York, London and Tel Aviv.
The mission statement of the Muslim Film Festival:
Muslim Film Festival continues its commitment to promote diverse images of people and cultures from the Muslim world through independent film.
Celebrate diversity—and revel in hatred.
