East is East has been hailed the British comedy hit of 1999. If the media response is anything to go by, this film has been a run away success:1

A clear audience favorite with the kind of audience reaction which hasn’t been seen since The Full Monty (The Guardian).

Fresh, frank, impudent and self-mocking, it marks a giant leap over the threshold of multicultural casting and ethnic British cinema (Evening Standard).

…but make no mistake, this very English comedy is rooted in snobbery, hypocrisy, dogma, poverty and racism … when it’s hurting, you can only laugh (Time Out).

If you missed the BBC series Power of Nightmares (broadcast Jan 2005) about the relationship between USA Neo-Conservatives and ‘Radical Islam’, all three episodes are available for online viewing at the archive.org
