Muslims for Progressive Values is an Associate Producer for this film. We're excited to invite you to an exclusive virtual screening of "Witness," a powerful short film that tells the story of a revered small-town imam who faces a crisis of faith when he must choose between upholding the values of his mosque or protecting the safety and spiritual belonging of a trans male congregant.

After a successful festival run, “Witness” is now For Your Consideration for Best Live Action Short Film at the 98th Academy Awards!

Date: Wednesday, December 3, 2025
Time: 5:30 PM PT – 6:30 PM PT
Location: Online (link provided upon ticket purchase) tickets available here!

If you are able to, we encourage you to consider sponsoring an attendee to help cover the cost for community members who may not be able to purchase a ticket.

This event offers a meaningful opportunity to experience Witness from the comfort of your home while engaging with a community committed to justice, compassion, and progressive change.

Following the screening, join us for an inspiring Q&A with the film’s creators Saif Jaan (writer and co-director) and Radha Mehta (co-director and producer) as they share insights into the film’s story, message, and creative journey.

All proceeds from this event will support our public relations campaign to help Witness reach the Oscar Awards stage.

We hope you’ll join us for this special evening!
