“City of Dreams” is a new movie coming out later this summer that chronicles the horrors of human trafficking and child labor.

A new movie written and directed by Adult Third Culture Kid Viggo Mortensen will soon be available on digital.

There’s a new movie set to come out on AppleTV+ this month about a U.S. expatriate living in Japan.

In the upcoming movie “Kill,” when army commando Amrit (Lakshya) finds out his true love Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) is engaged against her will, he boards a New Delhi-bound train in an effort to derail the arranged marriage.

Quite possibly the single Disney movie that best encapsulates the trials and tribulations of being a Third Culture Kid (TCK) was Pixar’s “Inside Out.”

“Challengers,” directed by the visionary Luca Guadagnino, features cross-cultural actor Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach.

From a white man playing an Arab swordsman in 1983’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” to the use of desert landscapes in science fiction to Persian vampires, one could argue that Middle Eastern representation in pop culture — while making good strides in the right direction — still has a ways to go.
