Towelhead latest movie targeted for Political Correctness

Arab-American groups are trying to exert pressure on the filmmakers of the movie Towelhead, based on the novel of the same name by Alicia Eran, to coerce them into changing the name of the film before it is released nationally.

The director, Alan Ball has stated that as a gay man, he does understand being referred to in a hateful way through a word or phrase, but nonetheless, he is refusing to change the name of the film.

The movie recounts the story of a 13 year old Muslim girl in Texas during the First Gulf War trying to find herself during a tumultuous time in her life and during a particularly tough time for American Muslims in general.

But here is the little tidbit that I notice has been conspicuously absent from the recent coverage of this controversy.

When the movie was being previewed and shown at Film Festivals, it was titled Nothing is Private, and the IMDB lists the movie under that title first.

So part of me thinks that the filmmakers changed the name to the name of the novel just so they could get some publicity for the movie. I mean, stranger things have happened, haven't they?
