American Bellydancer

American Bellydancer is an 88 minute documentary, by Miles Copeland, ostensibly about the history, extreme proliferation, feminism and misogyny of the ancient art form known today as Bellydancing. But it is also about tension between America and the Middle East, the dreams of young girls, the dialectic between art and politics and one man's attempt to reinvent his well-known turf in a failing music industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzZsfXJlk3Y&t=2384s
