The documentary film I Shall Not Hate follows the Canadian-Palestinian doctor Izzeldin Abuelaish’s journey from the Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza to the University of Toronto and the Israeli Supreme Court. Abuelaish was the first Palestinian doctor to work in an Israeli maternity ward, but his mission of forgiveness and reconciliation is put to the ultimate test when an Israeli tank bombs his house, killing his three daughters. Against all odds, he turns his tragedy into a global campaign to eradicate hate. I Shall Not Hate follows a deeply inspiring man with a message as urgent as ever.
The film screening will be followed by a panel conversation, moderated by Research Professor Cindy Horst and will conclude with a reception hosted by the Embassy of the Netherlands to Norway.
