Matthieu Aikins, Sally Hayden & Polly Pallister-Wilkins: Bordering on Inhumane
Deemed by Sally Rooney as the ‘most important work of contemporary reporting’, My Fourth Time, We Drowned explores Sally Hayden’s staggering investigation into the migrant crisis across North Africa. In The Naked Don’t Fear the Water, journalist Matthieu Aikins follows his friend Omar as he flees his war-torn country. And in Humanitarian Borders, Polly Pallister- Wilkins interrogates the humanitarian responses to border violence. A vital event for our times, chaired by Esa Aldegheri.
