Graffiti jibes on TV’s Homeland

-

GRAFFITI artists hired to give the new series of Homeland authentici­ty daubed its set with hidden messages in Arabic calling the TV show ‘racist’.

The slogans, sprayed across the walls of a set designed to be of a Syrian refugee camp, went unnoticed and have now been broadcast in the US.

In the second episode of the fifth season, which will be shown on Channel 4 on Sunday, lead character Carrie Mathison, played by Claire Danes, can be seen striding past a wall with Arabic script reading: ‘Homeland is racist’ and ‘Homeland is a joke’.
