Stand up for Madinah Screening

Stand up for Madinah Screening is Video Consortium Philadelphia’s second 2026 event, a Professional Development gathering Thursday, Apr 16, 6–9:30 pm: screening and light fare at PhillyCAM, 699 Ranstead Street, Center City East, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106 USA (6–8), then happy hour for drinks, conversation and schmoozing at National Mechanics, 22 S 3rd St, Philadelphia (8:15–9:30). The Philly chapter hosts STAND UP FOR MADINAH (USA, 2024, 25 minutes), followed by a conversation with director Zainab Sultan, an award-winning journalist, filmmaker and VC Philly member. Premiered on Al Jazeera English’s Witness, the film follows Madinah Wilson-Anton—a Black Muslim woman, Delaware’s first female Muslim legislator, Democratic state representative and local stand-up comedian—as she takes the House floor to spotlight atrocities in Gaza, opposes U.S. support for Israel and works to pass a Gaza ceasefire resolution.
