See It Say It

directed by nezar khammal

Through its heightened reality, See It Say It immerses viewers in the lived experience of someone whose identity immediately makes them hyper-visible, hyper-scrutinized, and subject to assumptions and fear. The film portrays more than just individual prejudice, it illuminates the structures, cultural narratives, and everyday micro aggressions that shape the world for marginalized communities, particularly Arabs and Muslims. Every surreal moment, from the sudden appearance of gunshot holes to the explosive vest, functions as a metaphor for the constant uncertainty and anxiety imposed by a society quick to judge based on appearances, stereotypes, or a single misinterpreted action. This is not just the story of one audition or one day gone wrong; it is a window into the psychological and emotional toll that systemic bias exerts, showing how it infiltrates even ordinary moments and spaces that should feel safe or neutral.

By emphasizing the actor’s vulnerability and the disorienting nature of his experiences, the director, Nezar Khammel invites audiences to feel the tension and unpredictability that comes with living under the shadow of prejudice. It challenges viewers to confront their own assumptions and the ways in which societal narratives condition us to respond with fear or suspicion. The Twilight Zone–like story mirrors the mental and emotional landscape of those who constantly navigate suspicion, hostility, and misperception. Each unexpected twist forces the audience to question what is real and what is projected, fostering empathy not through explanation but through visceral experience.

Moreover, the film situates these moments within the broader social and cultural context, highlighting how pervasive narratives about Arabs and Muslims inform public perception, media representation, and institutional behavior. It demonstrates that prejudice is rarely confined to overt acts of hostility; it is embedded in the ways people are seen, assessed, and anticipated to fail or conform. By making viewers uneasy, unsettled, and uncertain about what will happen next, See It Say It transforms a short story into a mirror for society, showing how systemic bias operates both overtly and subtly, shaping the realities of those whose identities are constantly politicized or othered.

By featuring this story, we aim not only to illuminate the emotional and psychological impact of bias but also to encourage reflection on the broader human consequences of living in a world where identity can make every ordinary action feel like a minefield. The film fosters awareness, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the intersection between human vulnerability and social injustice, creating a space for meaningful conversation about perception, prejudice, and the urgent need for change.
