DIRECTOR’S COMMENTS
“Stranger at the Gate is the story of a collision course between U.S. Marine Richard “Mac” McKinney and the congregants of the Muncie Islamic Center. In a world filled with misunderstanding and seemingly unbridgeable societal gaps, this story has relevance and urgency.”
– Joshua Seftel, May 2022
