Episode 43: Doro - refugee, hero, champion, survivor

In this episode, we speak with firefighter and refugee rescuer Brendan Woodhouse about Doro, a book he co-wrote with Doro Goumaneh.    Brendan tells us how he rescued his co-author from a boat in the Mediterranean in 2019 from the Sea-Watch 3, and while waiting for Italy to allow the rescued to disembark, Doro asked Brendan to write his story.   Brendan tells us about co-writing the book, Doro's journey and new life in France, and how the book has been received.    ---Get in touch--- Twitter: @FleetCivil Mastodon: @[email protected] Instagram: thecivilfleet [email protected] civilfleet.com   Support:  ko-fi.com/civilfleet   ---Show Notes---   You can buy Brendan and Doro's book from publishers Unbound, here: unbound.com/books/doro/   Or from the Fire Brigades Union (FBU), here: https://shop.fbu.org.uk/products/doro-book   You can follow Brendan on Twitter here: @_Brendan01_   Check out episode 22 of The Civil Fleet podcast to hear Brendan's previous interview.   For more on Sea-Watch, follow them on Twitter: @seawatch_intl    Or check out their website, here: sea-watch.org/    To read the article Ben mentions about Miguel Roldan and the FBU, see here:  bit.ly/3QqcX6W   For more on the Iuventa, check out episodes 2, 24 and 36.
