The year's end brings reflection on the power of great creative work. This December, I Interviewed Egyptian-American filmmaker Jehan Harney about her film "The Lost Dream," which documents Iraqi men who fled to America after risking their lives in defiance of Saddam Hussein. Listen to how the men's story literally made Washington Post headlines earlier in 2010. The resulting publicity garnered welcome support for the film's main subject, a father of four, whose fidelity to the U.S. led him into serious and continuing personal struggles.In this Gateways To Action PODCAST, hear the award winning filmmaker's perspective on moderate Islam, radical Islam, and her concern for the 50,000 Iraqi allies living among us, often below the radar to protect family members who remain overseas. Harney's middle eastern background is brought to bear as she handles the subject of intercultural tension with sensitivity. She shares with us her motivation, hopes and creative process. I invite you to listen to this engaging interview:
