We are joined by Bjorn Ihler who is a peace activist, writer and filmmaker working against dogmatism, particularly  in the forms of racism, hatred and violent extremism. His work is greatly founded on his experiences as a survivor of the attack on Utoya island in Norway in 2011. He’s written numerous articles for national and international newspapers and has been an inspiration to many activists through participation in conferences and organisations such as the Oslo Freedom Forum, Against Violent Extremism and the Forgiveness Project. Bjorn has a degree in Theatre and Performance Design and Technology from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Art In 2013, he collaborated in the writing of the play ‘The Events’ by David Greig, an account of a surivivor resembling the Utoya attack and he’s is currently producing the film ‘Rough Cut – Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity’. *
