The real life story of the Palestinian doctor who lost his children when Israeli shells fell on his home in Gaza, has been turned into a play.

Called I Shall Not Hate, after Dr Izzeldin Abuelaish's memoir of the same name, the performance is both heart-wrenching and life-affirming.

It's part of the Mosaic Theater Company's Voices from a Changing Middle East Festival, which is being held in Washington.

The BBC's Jane O'Brien went to meet the doctor-turned-playwright to hear his tale.
