Agenda

Join us at this pre-conference session on April 1 at 1pm for a movie screening of Pain and Peace and a panel discussion featuring Rais Bhuiyan, Executive Producer and Founder of World Without Hate. 

In the days following 9/11, Rais was shot by a white supremacist in a brutal hate crime. He forgave his attacker and eventually led an international campaign trying to save him from death row. From this movement and the manifestation of his deathbed promise, Rais founded the non-profit World Without Hate (WWH). His work focuses on utilizing the transformational power of personal narrative and empathy education to help prevent and disrupt hate and violence. 

At the pre-conference session, participants will have the opportunity to watch Pain and Peace, a feature-length documentary hosted and co-produced by Rais, and hear directly from Rais in a panel discussion after the screening.
