Muhsin Hendricks, the world's first openly gay imam, was shot dead in South Africa on Saturday, leaving many in mourning.

The 57-year-old was a trailblazer, known for his advocacy and for creating safe spaces for queer Muslims.

From founding The Inner Circle, a support group for queer Muslims, to leading an inclusive mosque, his work gave many a sense of belonging.

Alan Kasujja speaks to those who knew and were inspired by him—including activists and religious leaders—to explore the impact of his life and tragic death.

Presenter: Alan Kasujja

Guests: Nicole McCain, Rev. Sharon Cox and SimSim.
