'Mayor Mohamed'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 7, 2021

Director Jeffrey Togman joins us to discuss his documentary, "Mayor Mohamed," which follows Mayor Mohamed Khairullah, the Syrian American mayor of Prospect Park, NJ, as he brings humanitarian relief to Syria while managing local politics in the small north Jersey town.  When a local politician runs a campaign to unseat him as mayor, Mayor Khairullah faces Islamophobia and reckons with his own view of what it means to be American.
