A movement to end hate edit
World Without Hate
We use the power of personal narrative and empathy education to prevent and disrupt hate and violence.
Hate breaks.
Two stories at the heart of the work — a survivor's choice, and the film that grew from it.
“Once you get to know the other, it's hard for you to hate them.”
Our why
Hate grows in darkness.
Empathy thrives in the light.
Before 9/11, Rais didn't stand out as “other.” After the attacks he was labeled a terrorist and a threat. Years later, when his attacker came to know him, he called him brother.
“Each of us has the capacity to turn hate into love — a world without violence, without victims.”— Rais Bhuiyan

“A story of hope and healing that audiences carry with them long after the credits.”
WorldWithoutHatemission
World Without Hate uses the power of personal narrative and empathy education to prevent and disrupt hate and violence — realizing a world without victims, and a world without hate.
From a deathbed promise, a movement was born: screenings that stay for the conversation, classrooms that teach empathy as a life skill, and dialogue that turns understanding into action.
