Course Correction S3 Part I: Escaping Conflict

Doha Debates Podcast

In the premiere episode of our season on the refugee journey, we'll take a closer look at the moment of displacement and its immediate aftermath.

This episode features the story of Mohammed Anwar, a Rohingya refugee who nearly lost his life on a fishing boat while fleeing violence in home country of Myanmar.

Learn more about Anwar’s story.
