S2 E3: A team of journalists at gunpoint (Libya Pt. 3)
Pierre Katar, Joe Sexton, and Maya Doles, members of Ian Urbina's reporting team, share harrowing tales of their detention in Libya while investigating migrant abuse. They recount a sudden armed ambush, their experiences in a brutal secret prison, and the psychological trauma they faced. Forced to create a proof-of-life video, they cleverly signal distress despite their circumstances. The conversation highlights the horrific realities faced by migrants and critiques the EU's role in outsourcing border control, reflecting on privilege in the face of systemic injustice.
