Exibido em:: Jan 10, 2019

After her son was murdered by Mohamed Merah, Latifa Ibn Ziaten decided to fight for France's marginalised youth. On March 11, 2012, Imad Ibn Ziaten, an off-duty French soldier, was shot at point-blank range in a suburb of Toulouse in southwestern France. His killer was Mohamed Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman who claimed allegiance to al-Qaeda and would go on to kill two more soldiers as well as three children and a teacher at a Jewish school. This is the story of Imad's mother Latifa: The story of a mother whose world fell apart, a mother who became an activist, a mother who chose to fight hatred with love.
