Award-Winning Documentary Launched


 

 

Astoria filmmakers, Shidan Majidi (co-Producer/ Director) and Dino Tsaousis (Executive Producer) are launching their award-winning film, Me, The “Other” through the official website: www.metheotherfilm.com.

Set in Washtenaw County, the documentary follows twelve students from very diverse backgrounds on three campuses in Michigan and through short stories, explores how each of them is handling the pressures of experiencing prejudice by being “othered” or treated as outsiders.

“Fear and prejudice are at the core of the divisions we’re facing the world over. My intention in making his film was to look at the labels and stereotypes that have created this polarity by allowing audiences to listen to another human being’s story and find themselves in it. Each student’s story is ultimately transformational, inspirational, and very uplifting,” said Shidan Majidi, who was featured in a Queens Gazette Local-Express interview.
