>>> My name is Robert
Tutak. I’m a college professor
at Brooklyn College CUNY.
And I’m also a filmmaker.
Originally, I'm from Poland.
I've been here for 30 years
and that's why I
consider myself a New Yorker.
>>> Located on the Arabian
Peninsula on the southern
coast of the Persian Gulf,
Dubai is one of the seven
Emirates of the United
Arab Emirates. The UAE
was formed on December 2nd
1971. Over the past 30
years Dubai has undergone
a great transformation
from a sleepy fishing and
pearl diving Village to
the fastest-growing city
in the world. Highway E-11
is the UAE 's longest
road. In Dubai E-11 is
known as the Sheikh Zayed
Road. This is how Sheikh
Zayed Road looked at 1990
and this is how it looks now.
>>> Dubai City of Dreams
came about in the most
organic way. I, starting
in 2004 started teaching
courses in Dubai; Film
Production courses.
Filmmaking, directing
screenwriting, but when
you live in Dubai either
it's a very schizophrenic
place because on the one
hand you do have all that
pretty architecture and
challenging architecture,
outrageous architecture.
And the scale at which it
was built and the smell
and the temperature it's
all very alluring and
seductive. At the same
time there’s no
democracy. One guy who
might be mentally not
quite stable, who is the
Sheikh of Dubai, who wants
Dubai to be the biggest,
the richest, the best city
in the world and he’s
imitating everything. In
the middle of the desert
where it's flat and open
he’s building high-rise
buildings, 80 stories
tall. Why would you do it?
I mean you have so much
space. Only because he
wants to imitate
Manhattan. He's jealous
about this neighboring
emirate Abu Dhabi having a
lot of islands. And his
shore was really pristine
and beautiful, but he
didn't have islands.
So, he decided to build
artificial Islands;
five billion dollars and then
he didn't have the money
to keep them so, they
started sinking.
He destroyed the ecosystem.
To build all that they
employ slave labor. They
yeah, it's well slave
labor because they cheat
on the people. They bring
people from Bangladesh,
Pakistan, poor sections
of India, and exploit them.
They put them in camps.
They lock them up. They
take their passports.
They paid them peanuts, For a
peasant from Bangladesh to
go to Dubai, Dubai seems
like the promised land
to them. They are told they
will make hundreds of
thousands of dollars or
whatever it means.
Hundreds of thousands of
takas which is their currency.
They're going to be rich. But
they have to take out
$5,000 dollars to get a visa
which means they sell
everything and they go there
and they realize that they
are paid $200 a month 
or $300 a month.
And on top of that their
food is deducted.
Their lodging is deducted and
lodging is camps.
So, this is a scam and this is
one nation in fact a Muslim
Nation doing to another Muslim
population and this is not
sort of I’m trying to
speak about Islam.
But in fact, Muslims complain
about it because in the
Quran or in the religion
is written you may not
exploit your fellow
Muslim. 
>>> This is a public area.
There are close to 50
rooms lined up alongside
these walkways.
This is a kitchen, washroom,
laundry and ablution space.
And this is a bathroom.
>>> "Ellis Island", it's a
film about the notion that
certain races and certain
people might be inferior
in the minds of other
people and other races and
cultures are considered to
be superior. It started
with Eugenics, which was
at the beginning of 20th
century, the turn of the
20th century, but when I
started documenting the
Eugenics and the process
of admission through Ellis
Island, that was at the
beginning of the campaign
for 2016 election and Trump,
the very first speech he
had when he announced he
is running for the office,
he talked about the Mexicans
being rapists and
criminals, and inferior people.
This language was exactly the
same as the language that
was used by William Williams
who was the commissioner of
immigration at the
beginning of 20th century.
>>> It can be truthfully
said that the dregs and
off scouring of foreign
lands, the undesirables of
whom their own nations are
only too eager to purge
themselves come in hosts
to our shores. The policy
of those advocating free
immigration would make
this country in effect the
dumping ground of the world.
>>> Eugenicists in the
states at that time,
the first three decades of the
20th century were
extremely well-educated
people. They were not some
redneck racists. They were
people from Yale,
from Harvard and they said,
okay, well we can stop the
flow of the inferior stock
from Europe, this is their
terminology. But what are
we going to do with all
those feebleminded? 
>>> Many inattentive and
stupid-looking aliens-
>>> From fifty to a hundred
percent of those who enter
the inspection plant-
>>> Are questioned by the
medical officer in the
various languages.
>>> What is your name. Are
you Greek. Where do you
come from? Where are you
going? What place is this?
Why do I ask these
questions? Why do I ask
these questions? Has a
change come over your mind?
>>> They start thinking
about it and they decided,
okay, well, first of all
those really feeble-minded,
those in mental institutions
should not procreate.
So, what are we going to do?
We're going to sterilize them.
They sterilized, which
really few Americans know,
in the first two decades
of the 20th century seventy-five
thousand Americans
were sterilized forcefully.
You go to a doctor and if
the doctor is a Eugenicist
and he decides that you're a
feeble-minded that you
should not have children,
off-springs, he is reporting
you to a board, the Eugenics
Board of Sterilization and
they come and sterilize you.
But that wasn't enough.
They said okay, well,
that's okay. So, they are
not procreating. We are
separating them, but they
are still alive, they are
still polluting the society.
So, they say well, you
know, what is the best?
What is the most merciful
way of dealing with them?
And the answer
is kill them off.
Why would they even live?
They’re unhappy? They're not
enjoying the spoils of
life. They are feeble-minded.
So, they introduced the
legislation and some states
because there were
state-by-state considered
building gas chambers. 
And then Madison Grant,
he was a Yale
educated scientist and
activist wrote a book,
which is being read until
now by white nationalists.
It's called The Passing of
the Great Race. And of
course, the great race is
the white race. And he
described all those things
in detail. And then, he
published it in 1916 and
it became the Bible of the
Eugenicists. And then Hitler,
Adolf Hitler, was
sitting in jail. There was
a Munich Putsch and that he
was put in jail.
And he was looking for
inspiration for his memoir.
And he found this
book. He says, yes!
He wrote Madison Grant a
letter saying man, this is it.
This is my Bible and
so Adolf Hitler really
did not invent anything.
It was all given to him by
American eugenicists. 
He just used it.
The U.S. has become
a dumping ground for 
everybody else's problems.
Thank you. Donald J. Trump
is calling for a total and
complete shutdown of Muslims
entering the United States
until our country's
Representatives can figure
out what the hell is going on.
