Aamna Mohdin: Scattered

5 Oct 2024

17:45

Ilkley Playhouse

In 2015, *Aamna Mohdin* travelled to Calais to report from the frontlines of the refugee crisis. When she returned to London and discussed it with her parents, their response surprised her: didn’t she remember being a refugee herself? Now, award-winning Guardian correspondent Mohdin joins us for an eye-opening conversation on the reality of the refugee experience and its aftershocks. She revisits her family’s experience of escaping the Somali civil war, her early years spent in refugee camps before arriving in the UK, and discusses her work reporting the European refugee crisis.
