‘I Shall Not Hate’: A Palestinian doctor’s call for peace

Tal Barda’s latest documentary shines a light on a powerful voice calling for coexistence and peace between Israelis and Palestinians, as she follows Palestinian doctor Izzeldin Abuelaish in his struggle with grief, his quest for justice and his lifelong campaign for an end to the violence that has characterised his home region. “I Shall Not Hate” looks back at his life and revisits the harrowing moment when his three daughters and niece were killed by Israeli air strikes. Its director tells us why Dr Abuelaish’s continued message of peace is more important than ever in the current geopolitical context.
