A powerful appeal for peace, Precious Life explores the challenges and prejudices that must be overcome when officials from conflicting nations attempt to put aside their differences for a noble cause. The film will be introduced by Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, known as "the Gazan Doctor" and the founder of Daughters for Life.  He is an Institute Mayer Award Recipient.
