Episode 6: Anisa Mehdi
October 9, 2016 • 45 min
As a child, Anisa Mehdi (60) celebrated Christmas, Easter, bar mitzvahs and Ramadan - and she assumed that everyone did. This mixed religious upbringing has had a strong influence on her work as a journalist and documentary filmmaker. She was the first woman to report on the Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. The winner of two Emmy Awards and flutist, Alicja meets with her at home in Maplewood, New Jersey.
