The Band's Visit

Listen Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2008 at 1:41 p.m. in Arts & Culture, Society

Israeli filmmaker Eran Kolirin knew he was tackling a loaded topic when he wrote a movie script about an Egyptian band that is forced unexpectedly to spend the night in an out-of-the-way Israeli village. But few expected the film to stir up controversy in Hollywood. Hear about the award-winning movie, and why you didn't see it nominated for a Foreign Language Academy Award.
