people was something different when you say, then that was people not anything to do with you in the military. the way you could make sense of the caring was told to buy a high up official like mac. this is how you have to think about it, and i want to share that moment in the documentary because it helps us understand what was mat, even thinking as have a look. i was in the military for around 25 years. towards the end of my military career, i was a totally different person. the fact of being involved in so many deaths over years. the crazies are man. i don't even know. i probably would have been committed if they would actually known the way i was acting one time i had a discussion di,

ranking person, about coping to be strictly. i says mac range is sheena to paper target. as long as you can look at them as anything but human, have any problems or can i make sense? that's what i did. this the baby. do you remember the 1st time you met matt? what are your 1st impressions? thank you. i would. that was matt, matt, i mean, as they say, well he a look scary and concern, but in spite of that, i respectfully welcome him and with kindness and respect and understood as he was a human. ah. and we would have that's how my memories and now is going to lie. and that's the basic nobody that i must get a scary thing. but welcome to kindness. let me do this again. it's guaranteed back

. what are you doing in the mosque? i mean, this was part of the pan, right? well actually me being in the mosque was not part of the plan. ah, in order to i wanted tangible evidence. i knew what i believed to be true to be facts. the thing was is that i wanted to be able to show my daughter, even though she was going to lose her father. i wanted to show my daughter that see these people really are evil. and i went to the source. yeah. i'm just show you. we're trying to piece the story together and tell this story for documentary form that moment where we see mac, we, he, that mac is casing the mosque that is terrifying. and for young part of the

documentary, i think it's going to end in an awful way to get to that deliberately. well, we, we wanted to tell a story with within new kinds of heroes heroes like like baby and like her, her husband solver. and we wanted to make a film that didn't just preach to the choir and you know, so many films so many documentaries, even ones that i've made, i think end up preaching to the choir and we wanted to try to be different. we wanted to, we want this film to, we want people to watch this film who maybe need to watch this film. need this message, need to understand, have a better understanding of muslims have a better understanding. ready of their own biases and we, so we told the story in a way that was very gripping and draws you in and hasn't almost

a true crime. tell me how i'm going to and this is not going to end. well, joshua for a long time. yeah. i mean, we joke around that, it's a, it's a true crime story with it without a crime. i guy and i was happy in being, you know, it's the story about calling ms bell that the breast point was that you've been noting all the way for that to look at why you nodding well, i mean i totally agree with josh. no, he did him and his team did such a wonderful job, piecing this together and a lot of people have come up to me after they watch it. they says, oh my gosh, i was shocked. yeah, i thought it was going in totally different place. you know, and they told me when they saw me being interviewed, they thought i was being interviewed. i was actually in wilson. i thought you were

in town. i was, i don't know how to get access to prison. to talk to matt. i was, i was like, confused. i'm like, wow, i yeah, i think i thought you were in a lot of trouble just the people you're also noting as, until she was timely wanting to tell the story. yeah. yeah. i think i think we were extremely kind to him, we did not put him in jail. that's why he's not and we were totally lost the hard him in his life in their life. i mean, the members lie. i think the job done well done by joshua, how would you send that documentary to me to watch it? and i know when i did interview, i'll give you a little bit of background why i did it. but then when i truly watch out the interview and said the story, and i was like, chalk, this is a real thing. this is so professionally well done and how you put these pieces

together. and the student had happened in 2009. it was, and this was, he was working on in 2021 and you know, i but very impressed how he did in pension alley did it was amazing message. and i think that's what i, it's very dear to my heart because of the message how we shared this through documentary and how we organized it in a short 30 minutes. a pass into that 30 minutes. you feel like you've watched an entire feature film by the time you get to the end of it. there's a lot of tension in the documentary and there's a part where i'm not finding anything for you because you have to watch it. and it takes 30 minutes to what you as a part where matt goes to the most because he is planning to do something awful. and he needs to tell his step daughter. he needs proof to tell us that bill to like, it's right. these awful people are living amongst us,

and i need to do something about a, have a listen. have a look at this part of the film. i need to be able to show proof. i need to be able to show the rest of the world. ah, so i went to the as long center to get the proof. i wanna i want to be with these people because if i walk inside his building, i might not come back. so i walk in the building and all of a sudden it's like i felt my stomach tighten up. just i know i tried to keep my senses about me. i have very anxious. i didn't trust them. i considered myself somebody as a, a future news story on al jazeera. by the end of the night, i figured they would have been in the basement with a sword to my throat. a latin got you out here and i meant that thankfully it was, it is the girl and her face?

yes. walking into the master walking into the mosque. that was the moment that changed your life and probably a lot of people's life in the most, because that was the beginning of how kindness alpha comes height. tell what house. so i, you know, when it was, when i went in there, i was very, you know, i feel very uneasy. and i was met with open arms, smiles. hello. so you know, i'm glad you could be here. and then, you know, one of the brothers gave me eat, come up to me and he handed me a koran. and he says, read this, come back when you have questions. and i was like, mad, they give me the all the evidence. and they're going to explain it to me like this is great. yeah. but,

but as i was piecing the 2 together between how i was being treated and what was in the koran. my impression of islam was the people who had been shooting at me again . and but when i came here and i started reading the scripture and knowing how religion works the where you're supposed to live your life according to the scriptures as closely as you can. well, i saw that in muncie. i didn't see that overseas. so that tells me that obviously the people in muncie are actually a true representation of what is what i'm really is. and it changed my whole perspective, you know, and that's when i started understanding that more, more about human beings and they, they make the decisions they make in the ways that they act simply driven by greed . josh, are you looking very thoughtful, articulate those thoughts?

go ahead. well, i think that when mac went to the mosque, he just had a big argument with his 8 year old daughter. and you know, she had yelled at him because he said something. as alma phobic, he said something negative about muslims, and his 8 year old daughter confronted him. and like, what are you thinking like, what's, what's wrong with you, dad? and that's when he went to the mosque was in the wake of that argument. because, you know, she wanted to make sure he was right, that he, that his plan to bomb them off with the right thing to do. and this little 8 year old had made him question his plans. and i think that when he went in there, his, i think his guard was down a little bit, i think i think there was a tiny crack in his armor. there was a tiny opening for love to come in. and when he met b, b, and sobber,

and joe and the other members of their mosque and they were so nice to him and so kind and welcoming that it kind of blew his mind. i think he didn't know what to think, but he started to think like maybe i maybe i am wrong. maybe maybe i've got this whole thing wrong. and it was this amazing moment where, you know, be, be through her kindness. i think started to change is mind and melt away the hatred that he had in his heart. and she didn't even know like baby, you didn't know anything about what his plans well and i did not. you know, i mean, i would do this to you on less than the family that we always to get them trained. my father also took care of people and the homeless and when i came across anybody because i had the refugee toys and taken care of a out up you do. and, and my husband being a medical doctor, what can his office experiencing,

treating his, their body. now, we have dealt with alco walks of life and we have competed outcomes of people and throughout our life. and we have give them place in their home. they have stayed with us for months and weeks or 2 before we let them go and the same thing that so when i did this with amendment act for me to invite him over nothing. i'm sitting on the table where he was sitting with us having a dinner. and i think that also was part of the way of life for me, but it was a huge impact on mac and not just having welcomed him in the center, respectfully and then inviting him over to our house and share immune with him and sit down and listen to his story. i don't thing he had this come about his spot and atkinson and being bought in listen to me that something it impacted him a lot. and then obviously continuously that was not only that thing. and we also give him a part of the leadership when i asked him to be the president of best law muslim

student association. and he's, there were all these distribution. i don't know what i'm doing and i worry, i will help you bring it out. is a guy in the ship? yes. to 3 the out. is that what, how can he be head of the muncie a mosque? how is that possible? because what happened to you, mac there's, there's a little gap there between you going into the must be very unhappy with feel muslim neighbors and then you became walked. well, 1st of all, i became the president of the muslim students association at both both state university here in muncie, mac, and you forgot to say that you became muslim. well, yeah, i was getting into i don't go, well, yeah, i became a millionaire. i'm though, so after weeks he comes in and he's asking my husband and the other people,

i want to become like them. and my husband say, now what are you talking about, mac, you know, you need to study, want to get ready. now i can let my talk about that. all right, go ahead, right? yeah, yeah, so, yeah, so that's an interesting story. so. so to even go back that just a little bit. no one knew about this plan. about my everybody that knew me knew i hated most, but nobody knew the extent of my hatred and nobody knew that i was planning to do anything. my wife didn't even know until after the fact she knew when the f b i showed up at the house. i know that opened up a door and we'll get back to that. but when i went there and finally, after all my study and, and my, my conversations and all the, all the acquaintances i,

i was touched. i was touched by the koran and i, i had to be mostly i just had to and i, it was funny because i went into the mosque on a, on a friday and for juma and i went up to the doctor and there was another brother mack i know you're showing off, but jima, you went in the pres, right? yes. yeah. okay. yeah. so, so i was a, so i went up to sobber and another brother shop and, and says, hey, i want to take shot. and they both. it was funny because they both looked at me, they both looked at each other. they looked back at me and they said, no, i said, you're not ready. you need to learn more, right, right, and i. and so i looked at them and said, well don't we all have off or? and they look both, both i'm was back at each other and both them look back at me and i said, i'm not sure a lock system. even if this was a movie, it will be on

a believable the fact that it's real life is extraordinary area. we spoke to must have a, he's from the african american foundation, and there's a big a message to this film if they needed to be one. i don't think there needs to be one, but there is a method and must have that line diesel not make a method kits. have a listen. it's have a look kind. this does change. i think it kindness does change hatred to, to love to community the connection and specifically stranger at the gate shows up in a really beautiful way. and i think it also, it also goes and challenges a lot of assumptions. pounds that many americans may have about islam and muslims. and i think many americans, quote, unquote knows about islam and knows about muslims. but they have never, i spend time and really get to know muslim,

close up when josh, this is why you are drawn to make this documentary because where we are not just in america, but in the world right now. how divided people are and you experienced it as a young boy as well? not a is a foam yet is life is i'm a phobia, but you were you experienced being hated because of your jewish heritage or jewish background. so that's why you came to the film, that's what drew you to the phil. what do you make of the reaction? i mean, the reason we wanted to tell this story is because we felt like the story is needed right now. we felt that, you know, as you mentioned, that this is a moment of great division in our country. and that's, you know, it's not often that we come across a story about would be hate crime that turns into

a happy ending that turns into above that shows the power of kindness, that kindness love conquers hate. and i was so. ready drawn to this story and to the actions of the congregants at the amik center, a bunch, c, b, b, and sobber. and joe and everybody and what they did that the way they welcomed mac into their congregation and the way that they treated him with kindness. and it literally saved a lives. and i can't think of a better way to convey the, the power of kindness than with this story. and it's something, it's something we, i think we can all learn from something we need to remember that being kind to others, especially people we don't know, are people that we might have preconceived notions about that. that can be incredibly powerful, right?

and i think that it's less than we all need to remember. right now as we sort of live in this time where we don't really talk to we don't always talk to people that have different opinions than we do. we sometimes don't talk to people who vote for different political candidate than we did like that's very troubling to me. and i think what b b has shown to her actions is the power of talking to she didn't need to talk to mac, you know, she knew he was different than her. she was even scared of him. but she also saw him as a human being. and i think that's is something we need to remember to be to be like b, b, i a santa that. yeah. and treat others, treat others as humans to try to find that common ground. that's what, that's what struck me so much about the story and what b b and the congregants did in muncie. so stringent k has been nominated for an

oscar. and i just want to show the moment where joshua and his production team were waiting for the oscar nominations to come through and they were quite excited. it's let me to show you what it looks like. you're a guy and they're just waiting. and then you can tell them when they find out that they were nominated. oh, yes. oh. so one of the executive producers of stranger at the gate is mila. you soft sigh. and she says, have a look here to believe that people can change and to be willing to change ourselves is our best hope for a better world. i've spoken so much about this film, it's only 30 minutes and it's available right now. so i'm just going to click so you can see where you can see it w w, w dot stranger at the gate dot com. and just below the title, watch the film here and you can watch it, and i guarantee you won't be disappointed. now if you know anything about islam,

you know that we are coming to the end of the holy month of ramadan. and then there's an amazing body and festivities, and it's amazing and extraordinary. i want to find out what you would wish your fellow muslims around the world in a sentence is to be, be in, in a sentence. max is the b b fest one sentence. i would like, i would like all my hello of brains. human being families, muslim brothers and sisters thanked or wished in my happy and peaceful holidays. i gave me some time to match that you're a message. yes. odd to all. the muslim brothers and sisters around the world has him as well as rusty humanity. peace blessings and know that tomorrow is the chance to be better than he might thank. he says to even thanking joshua, i see you next time. take have a buddy. ah

ah. ah fit them. i'm not a jotted bethany where we sat there enough. ah, freight companies, vague passports, international bags,

and the proceeds of organized crime. that was his baggy p, a lay valenzuela ward. and somebody was as you believe, fiction is over to his like in a remarkable 3 part, people empower investigation into a complex, secretive world. 2 journalists go in search of italian mafia dirty money, launderer, part one on a jesse era who's breaking down the headlines to exposing the powers attempting to finance reporting what to to do what to, to investigate. why didn't you ask the facts? there are many during that sensor it will have but you know effect on the pick one story. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered to suppress moderate. and in some cases amplify the content you see on your timeline. the listening post on the 0.
