Sally Hayden on My Fourth Time, We Drowned

Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

Sally Hayden the Africa correspondent for the Irish Times, based between the UK and Uganda focused on migration, conflict, and humanitarian crises. Hayden sheds light on a human rights disaster of epic proportions in "My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Seeking Refuge on the World's Deadliest Migration Route". It is an intimate portrait of life for detainees, as well as a condemnation of NGOs and the United Nations. But most importantly, My Fourth Time, We Drowned examines the resilience of humans: how refugees and migrants locked up for years fall in love, support each other through the hardest times, and carry out small acts of resistance to survive in a system that wants them to be silent and disappear, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI 99.5FM.
