Emmy Award-winner David Osit’s Portrait of Palestinian Mayor Musa Hadid

New York, N.Y. – June 9, 2022 – The George Foster Peabody Awards announced today, Mayor, Emmy Award-winning director David Osit’s depiction of Palestinian mayor Musa Hadid was the winner of the Documentary Award. The announcement was made by Hasan Minhaj. Named a New York Times Critics’ Pick, Mayor was broadcast as part of POV’s 34th season on PBS. It is the first Peabody win for Osit and the 27th Peabody Award for POV, currently celebrating its 35th anniversary as America’s longest-running documentary series. Award

Mayor explores the dynamics of public service and international politics, offering a nuanced perspective of the Palestinian struggle for autonomy through the eyes of former civil engineer-turned-mayor, Musa Hadid. Since 2012, Hadid has been the mayor of Ramallah, home to 60,000 people and located in the central West Bank. He approaches his duties with practicality, paving sidewalks, cleaning sewage spills, approving city advertising campaigns, and building new fountains and schools. Yet, not even the most mundane of Hadid’s responsibilities is left untouched by the Israeli occupation, with raids and government strictures casting a continual shadow over the city. Balancing the deadpan, bureaucratic humor of his everyday job with the continued encroachments of global and regional politics, Mayor highlights the constant, less-publicized injustices of the occupation on the public servant as well as on the city he serves. Award
