Don't talk about the water

  Don’t talk about the water by Alissar Seyla In this episode, we look at the concept of the homeland and diaspora. That tension between familiarity and unease. A young woman reflects on experiences in her homeland, Lebanon, and abroad, and struggles to find safety in either of those places amid escalating war. Now, it is time to talk about the water.
