Hammuda Abidia is a Libyan entrepreneur who came to the United States as a political dissident in the early days of Gaddafi’s reign.
After 36 years of exile, he returned to Benghazi during the opening stages of the revolution and was the original impetus behind documenting the revolution on film, which has ultimately developed into STRONGER THAN BULLETS.
Since then, he founded the Libyan Friendship Association, a charitable organization that focuses on many facets of improving Libyan society, ranging from telemedicine to agricultural projects. In addition, Hammuda has produced several films, including Matthew Millan’s award-winning WE WIN OR WE DIE, a short film of the first four days of the 2011 Libyan revolution.
