The following is a presentation made at the 2015 Israel Lobby Con held at the National Press Club.
Ahmad Saadaldin is a filmmaker/producer, creative writer, actor, and grassroots organizer.
He is dedicated to sharing untold stories in order to raise awareness and create positive change. Through grassroots organizing and filmmaking, he does his best to bring attention to deserving topics.
Using Kickstarter, Saadaldin raised $84,000 to produce the historic epic television show “Salahadin.”
He produced and directed the short documentary “Refugees of Kurdistan” for Aljazeera’s English website with filmmaker Nick Armero.
As a public relations major at the University of South Florida, Saadaldin organized the largest grassroots campaign in the university’s history and collected more than 10,000 signatures calling on the school to divest endowment funds from corporations complicit in human rights violations (#USF4HumanRights).
