What We Do
Philadelphia: Stand up for Madinah Screening
You are invited to Video Consortium Philadelphia’s second event of 2026! Join us on Thursday, April 16 at 6pm for a screening of STAND UP FOR MADINAH at PhillyCAM, followed by a conversation with its director, award-winning journalist and VC Philly member, filmmaker Zainab Sultan. Light fare will be provided. Afterwards, we will gather for a happy hour at a nearby pub (National Mechanics) for drinks, conversation, and schmoozing.
STAND UP FOR MADINAH (USA, 2024, 25 minutes), 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.
