- Summary:
- Driving an Arab street takes the viewer on a journey along the "Arab street," a monolithic term pundits use to describe Arab sentiment, to find out what people are actually saying about the West and America. The film follows Egyptian taxi drivers as they navigate the streets of Cairo and the drivers share their diverse perspectives on American and Egyptian society, culture, politics, and the relationship between these two civilizations.
