'An extraordinary story that deals with the urgent issues of our
era . . . a story about resilience, renewal' - Elif Shafak A
stunning testament to human strength, courage and compassion, Hope
Not Fear shows that nobody is powerless to change the world. This
memoir from refugee, filmmaker, and activist Hassan Akkad traces
his campaigns for justice, from protesting the Assad regime in
Syria to winning greater rights for cleaners in the NHS. Since
seeking asylum in the UK, Hassan’s unshakeable instinct to raise
awareness, help and connect, has seen him share not only his
experience as a refugee, but to the coronavirus pandemic as a covid
ward cleaner and documentary filmmaker. As a witness and advocate,
he bridges national and political divides; his humanity, sense of
service and ideals bring people together. If you find yourself
wondering where to find hope in difficult times, this book is the
place to start. 'Remarkable' - The Observer 'A journey of hope and
connection . . . this will do much to restore your faith.' -
