ABOUT THE FILM
STAND UP FOR MADINAH, which premiered on Al Jazeera English’s Witness, follows Madinah Wilson-Anton — a Black Muslim woman and the first female Muslim legislator in Delaware — as she takes the House floor to call attention to the atrocities taking place in Gaza. A Democratic state representative who opposes U.S. support for Israel and is working to pass a Gaza ceasefire resolution, Wilson-Anton is also a local stand-up comedian.
