Salam zaatari biography of martin

Lebanese director Salam al Zaatari seeks through his film Sittoon Daqiqah fi Qamis al Majanin (Sixty Minutes in the Shirt of Mad People) to incite the western society for raising inquiries and searching for certain answers.

Zaatari’s documentary film differentiates between the American led campaign against terrorism following September 11 attacks and the Israeli aggressions on the Arabs and the Palestinians and Lebanese in particular. He presents his film to the foreign viewer in an attempt to penetrate the embargo imposed by the western media.

The film is about an American announcer who uses the exaggeration style in addressing small events which concern the United States while he downplays the importance of major event that interest the Arabs.

The Lebanese director starts raising the question about the difference between the truth and reality giving the western viewers the facts available to him from the Arabs perspective and leaving them the option for discovering the truth
