Among the nominees for Best Documentary Short at the 95th Academy Awards is Joshua Seftel’s Stranger at the Gate (executive produced by Malala Yousafzai), which traces the story of Richard “Mac” McKinney, a former US Marine whose plan to bomb a Muncie, Indiana mosque was cut short by the friendships he formed with its congregants.
The story traverses important issues like PTSD, Islamophobia, and the power of human connection in the face of corrosive hate.
We interviewed producers, Suzanne Hillinger and Conall Jones on the making of the film.
