Winner of a 2022 Peabody Award, this gripping and surprisingly droll portrait of Musa Hadid during his second term as the mayor of Ramallah, the de facto Palestinian capital, is equally a portal into the Israel-Palestine conflict just prior to the genocidal escalation of the last few years. Director David Osit (2025’s "Predators") elucidates the vagaries of everyday bureaucracy as permuted by the extraordinary circumstances of occupation with great skill and sensitivity.
