Muncie Meets the Oscars

 Just a short note, just in case anyone might read this note: 

'Stranger at the Gate' featuring Muncie mosque nominated for Oscar

 

"Stranger at the Gate," the documentary directed and produced by Joshua Seftel, details how former U.S. Marine Richard McKinney plots a terrorist attack on the Muncie mosque. Included in the category of Best Documentary Short Film nominations, which were announced early Tuesday, are: “The Elephant Whisperers,” “Haulout,” “How Do You Measure a Year?” and “The Martha Mitchell Effect."

The Muncie attack never happened. Instead, as the documentary depicts, McKinney comes face-to-face with his would-be victims, predominately Afghan refugees, who welcome him into their fold.

Just a reminder good things do happen here in Muncie, in the Midwest, and we are an odd people, not quite so stereotypical as might be thought.
