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.
