Free virtual screening of the documentary film "Exception"

Zoom
https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_PtpB8KoGREOTiQqW4Lav2g#/registration

The film screening will be followed by discussions with Khaled Sabawi, co-screenwriter.

When a leaked video of his lecture on the Psychology of Oppression goes viral and sparks accusations of anti-Semitism, tenured Palestinian-American professor Karim Hadawi finds himself at a crossroads with a harrowing ultimatum: issue a public apology to salvage his career or risk losing not only his job but also the custody of his beloved daughter. This unexpected challenge forces Karim to navigate a turbulent territory where principles clash with the pressures of employment and public perception, plunging him into a distressing battle for integrity, family, and the preservation of freedom of speech.
