Christchurch Mosque Attacks: Keeping my brother’s story alive | Aya al-Umari

Four years after the Christchurch terror attacks, Aya al-Umari is fighting to change her brother’s story from ‘victim’ to ‘hero’.Hussein al-Umari was killed on 15 March in an act of white supremacy that claimed the lives of 51 Muslim worshippers in New Zealand. 

Despite local and international attention shifting elsewhere, the survivors and families at the centre of the attacks continue to struggle with grief, pain and new beginnings.

In this episode of The Big Picture, Aya al-Umari shares her own journey of grieving her brother and why the world needs to know his story.
