This podcast is AWESOME. It truly is a platform for people that gave up so much to reach Europe and is a refreshing apolitical take of Europe's migration crisis. It really conveys the brutality of the migration routes and the difficulties of integration once in Italy. All thorugh the voices of single migrants. A must listen to podcast!!
The stories presented in this podcast have a powerful way of grounding me and giving my life perspective. Feeling grounded and centered.
