Newsmax Premieres Documentary “Made in USA: Muslims Find a Home” Featuring Anila Ali - Faith & Freedom News

Washington D.C., August 17, 2025 – Newsmax is set to broadcast a groundbreaking documentary, “Made in USA: Muslims Find a Home”, on Sunday, August 17 at 9 p.m. ET. Directed and produced by Keith Neubert of Breakwater Entertainment, the film provides a rare, inside look at how the Muslim American community has evolved socially and politically over the past two decades.

At the heart of the documentary is Anila Ali, a Pakistani American educator, interfaith leader, and civil rights advocate widely known as an Ambassador of Peace. Ali has been a tireless champion for women’s empowerment, minority rights, and diversity in America. As an outspoken voice against stereotypes and bigotry, she has long worked to build bridges across communities while amplifying the voices of American Muslim women.

The film uses candid interviews, historical analysis, and expert commentary to track a remarkable political shift: how a community traditionally aligned with the Democratic Party, shaped by post-9/11 policies and civil rights struggles, has increasingly moved toward the Republican Party and Donald Trump.

“This film captures the complexity, diversity, and challenges within the Muslim American community, while highlighting their patriotism and continually evolving political journey,” Newsmax stated in its announcement.

Among the featured contributors are:

Mark Halperin – veteran political reporter
Asra Nomani – journalist and author
Anila Ali – minority rights activist and educator
Ford O’Connell – political analyst

The documentary highlights how patriotism—sometimes quiet, sometimes defiant—has shaped the Muslim American experience, while reflecting on the broader cultural and political transformations reshaping America today.

With a blend of personal stories, political insight, and historical context, “Made in USA: Muslims Find a Home” offers a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and the role of Muslim Americans in the nation’s evolving political landscape.
