Sabrina is a frustrated and cynical member of society in her early twenties. Why don't we get taught about institutionalised racism at school? Or colonialism? Why do we get taught about the World Wars but not the Iraqi or Syrian Wars? Or about gender non-conformity? Why did our humanities lessons at school seem ExtRemeLY one-sided? In episodes under 20 minutes each, Sabrina *attempts* to explore topics we did not get taught at school, and explain their significance today.
