My film Beyond the Raging Sea launches today in NYC cinemas (26/04 - 02/05) and in LA (May 3 to 9). If anyone is in town, I'd love if you came out to watch it. I'll be there for the first 3 days of each US city for a Q&A after the movie. The film recounts my adventure

On behalf of 3yr old Ahmed, I say to those with influence > Please find your empathy. Your compassion?! It's dismaying to hear how so many overlook the horrors hitting children in #Gaza Get those Israeli children home; & stop killing thousands in Gaza. Please. Stop.
