ASYLUM Episode 2: Detention

Asylum is a powerful miniseries podcast from The Storytellers' Lab in Habibi.Works.

Step into the shoes of an Afghan woman - a skilled gynecologist and polyglot - seeking asylum in Greece. This intimate miniseries follows her experiences navigating the labyrinthine asylum process: the initial detention, the years spent in a refugee camp that becomes increasingly closed off and restrictive, and the daily realities of waiting for a life-changing decision. Through her voice, Asylum explores themes of gender, xenophobia, and the human story behind the asylum process.
