It's finally happening. Ayman has finished his new video essay 'Where are the Arabs?'.

'Where are the Arabs?' is a long-form video essay about the history, failures, and nostalgia of Arab Nationalism. It's one Arab leftist's attempt to sift through this trend, see its remnant today, nd dispell its myths. Today, there is no Arab solidarity in action. But was there ever? I explore this question and many more over 1h 15m, with clips from a broad range of Arab leftist intellectuals.

There's a live drop happening on Patreon on Sunday 26th at 8pm CET. I'll be in the live chat. Join me!

⁠Link to the Video Essay⁠

Free for members, available for one-time purchase for anyone else!

Here's a Youtube link to Ayman's first video essay, released a few months ago
