A Muslim filmmaker and former neo-Nazis reveal what’s possible when we sit down and listen to one another.
Muslim filmmaker Deeyah Khan walked toward the very people she had been taught to fear and asked a question most of us won’t: can we see each other’s humanity?
In her documentary “White Right: Meeting the Enemy,” Khan chooses proximity over polarization, questions over certainty, presence over distance. What follows isn’t comfort or easy redemption, but something rarer: the slow cracking open of a worldview built on dehumanization.
This doesn’t excuse harm or extremism. It simply reminds us that hatred is fueled by distance—and that humanization is the first disruption.
