We've been talking about Christian Nationalism quite a bit recently as we've been discussing Christian fundamentalism and other related topics. It got us to thinking about why people think and behave the way that they do, and the answers that we found in the doc were surprisingly deep and pretty heart-wrenching."White Right: Meeting the Enemy is a 2017 documentary directed by Deeyah Khan. Deeyah travels to the United States to meet with some of the country's most prominent neo-Nazis and white supremacist leaders to seek to understand the personal and political reasons behind the apparent resurgence of far-right extremism in America. She made the film after being interviewed on TV about multiculturalism for which she received many threats and hate speech on social media." - Wikipedia-Join us for as little as $5 a month on Patreon!-We have super fun merch, go take a look!-We'd love to see you in our Discord, come hang out!-Audio editing by Dallas Hernandez.-Sources:Watch for FREE herehttps://vimeo.com/661484608This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4523794/advertisement

Daryl Davis and Jeff Schoep are two of the most inspirational gentlemen I've ever met.  Both work at the forefront of a hands-on social movement aimed at building bridges of understanding and friendship ordinarily thought to be impossible.  Having had the opportunity to sit down with each of them individually (Davis Episode 24; Schoep Episode 29) they agreed to sit down with me at the same time to speak about what it will take to overcome the growing factionalism in our society.Daryl Davis has worked to improve race relations by seeking out, engaging in dialogue with, and befriending members of the Ku Klux Klan. In 1983, he was playing country western music in a "white" bar in Frederick, Maryland, when a patron came up to him and said it was the first time he had "heard a black man play as well as Jerry Lee Lewis". Davis explained to the man that "Jerry Lee learned to play from black blues and boogie-woogie piano players and he's a friend of mine". The white patron was skeptical and over a drink admitted he was a member of the KKK. The two became friends and eventually the man gave Davis contact information on KKK leaders.A few years later, Davis decided that he wanted to interview Klan members and write a book on the subject, to answer a "question in my head from the age of 10: 'Why do you hate me when you know nothing about me?' That question had never been answered from my youth".Davis eventually went on to befriend over twenty members of the KKK, and claims to have been directly responsible for between forty and sixty, and indirectly over two hundred people leaving the Klan.Over the course of his activities, Davis found that Klansmen have many misconceptions about black people, stemming mostly from intense brainwashing in their youth. When they got to know him, Davis claims, it was more difficult to maintain their prejudices. The artist has recounted his experiences in his 1998 book, Klan-destine Relationships: A Black Man's Odyssey in the Ku Klux Klan.Davis is not on a mission to "convert" bigots, white supremacists, Klansmen, or Nazis. Rather because of the earnest respect he offers all human beings and his core beliefs in the power of love, respect, fairness and his willingness to listen and find the heart of "the other," people are moved and transformed.  Over 200 Neo-Nazis, Klansmen and others who belong to organizations that preach hate have chosen to leave those organizations and give Daryl their robes, flags, insignia, and other symbols of hate. https://www.daryldavis.com/https://twitter.com/RealDarylDavisJeff Schoep, once America's most notorious neo-Nazi, now a consultant for the Simon Wiesenthal Center and an inspirational speaker for Conscious Campus, tirelessly holds keynote talks, lectures, and workshops from his unique vantage point. For over 2 decades, Schoep led America's largest neo-Nazi organization, the National Socialist Movement (NSM), overseeing its growth to a nationwide movement. Beginning in 2016, through interactions with a black musician, Daryl Davis, and a Muslim film maker, Deeyah Khan, Jeff began to question not only his work, but his entire life.

Geena Davis is a two-time Academy award-winning actress, known for her role as Thelma in Thelma & Louise, among countless other parts she has played. She joins Jessica Creighton to talk about her impressive career as an actress, athlete and model – as well as why she's such a champion of female representation in media, and why she chose the title of her new memoir, ‘Dying of Politeness'. Anne Sacoolas on Thursday admitted causing the death of 19 year old motorcyclist Harry Dunn in August 2019. Harry's mother Charlotte spoke to Anita Rani about how she's feeling after the trial, and how her and Harry's family have kept up the fight for justice over the last three years. Choreographer Jasmin Vardimon talks to Jessica Creighton about her new production, ALiCE, inspired by Alice in Wonderland, and looks at how current cultural themes that we wouldn't expect, including how women change through puberty and the menopause, are central to the classic story. Domestic abuse figures in England and Wales are going up. Woman's Hour has been hearing about sides of the issue we don't really talk about. Winifred Robinson, presenter of the Radio 4 series, ‘Boy in the Woods' talks to Krupa Pahdy about what it is that makes women want to stay with their abusers – and filmmaker Deeyah Khan tells Jessica Creighton about her new documentary, ‘Behind the Rage', which focuses on the men who are violent towards their partners. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Lottie Garton

Jasmin Vardimon is one of the UK's leading choreographers and was awarded an MBE for services to dance in the late Queen's final birthday honours list in June. This month Jasmin is bringing ALiCE - a new interpretation of Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland - to the Sadler's Wells. She is also opening a purpose-built dance centre in Kent where the Jasmin Vardimon Company will be based. She joins Jessica to talk about her work. Deeyah Khan is an Emmy, Bafta and Peabody winning filmmaker. Deeyah's films have previously covered topics such as abortion in America, white supremacy, and why people become terrorists. Her latest film looks at domestic violence in the United States, hearing from voices rarely heard on the topic, the men who perpetrate violence towards their partners. Deeyah joins Jessica. Baroness Casey's interim report into the Metropolitan Police's disciplinary procedures has found that hundreds of Met police officers have been getting away with misconduct and even breaking the law. The new Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has today called for officers to be sacked, after the report found that their internal disciplinary system is racist and misogynist, and allegations of sexual misconduct or discrimination are less likely to result in a case to answer than other claims. It also found that repeat misconduct offenders have remained in post, with just 13 out of 1,809 officers with more than one case against them being sacked since 2013. Jessica speaks to Shabnam Chaudri, formerly a Detective Superintendent with the Metropolitan Police. Membership of the Women's International Motorcycle Association has increased by 50% in the last two years. And the world's largest all-female biker meet took place in Leicestershire this summer, with over 1,500 women in attendance. But why is the number of female motorcyclists accelerating? Jessica talks to Karina Artun AKA Bike Like a Mum on Instagram, who started learning to ride in lockdown, and Sheonagh Ravensdale, Communications Director of the British Motorcyclists Federation. Women are selling sex to cope with the cost of living crisis, according to the English Collective of Prostitutes who have seen call levels to their helpline rise by a third in the last few months. Many women are turning to sex work for the first time, while others are returning, having left it behind. Pregnant Then Screwed have also been contacted by women in a similar position. Jessica speaks to a sex worker called Evie and Niki Adams of the English Collective of Prostitutes, a network of sex workers and supporters campaigning for the decriminalisation of prostitution.

I see a lot of behaviors in schools that are contributed to the trauma or environment that students are experiencing. I work sometimes one-on-one with this students who are going through a lot at home. I have seen a range of behaviors from throwing chairs, running off campus, screaming, making silly noises, kicking, pulling hair, or spitting on you, withdraw or shut down, you name it. All students whether they are on the autism spectrum or just have a lot of trauma or just having a rough day, they all have needs just like we do as an adult. It can be really hard to accompany these students when each one may need something different. I don't see students as a bad person or think that they are trying to get attention, I get curious and I truly care about what they are needing. I am there to support them in any way that I can. If we bring our judgements to the table then it makes it really hard to be present with our students. I remember that they need so much compassion, grace, kindness, love and a listening ear because some may not get that at home.  NVC has helped me so much with meeting these students where they are at and having the language to create a safe dialogue with them when they are escalated or when they have calmed down. Most often then not, I am empathically listening and giving them a reflection on what they said so they know I understand them and believe their experience. Believing ones experience doesn't mean I agree, it means I am believing their experience as their truth. Once I can do this, we can work towards problem solving together or resolving a conflict using feelings and needs and do-able requests. Adinah and I get to talk about what is going on with student behavior and how we can use a different lens to understand in a deeper way what is going on for these students. Trauma can have a huge impact on students. Trauma can impact the classroom and teachers. I have witnessed how trauma affects learning and growth in the classroom and I hope that I can make a small change in the way I communicate to hold space for these students.   Resources:Adinah Barlow WebsitePodcast – Project Relationship YouAdinah Barlow Facebook 1) Paul D Maclean - Triune brain theory 2) Book: The Gift of Fear - By: Gavin de Becker3) Book:  Fostering Resilient Learners (Strategies for creating a Trauma-Sensitive Classroom)By: Kristin Souers with Pete Hall. 4) Video: Red Table Talk - Jada Smith, Deeyah Khan, Dr. Ibram X.

Because Harry is also a ballet dancer, a plumber and the guy who asked to wear a dress at the Olympic Opening Ceremony with the desire of defying gender stereotypes (request denied).

Too often, for better and worse, we label people. Myself included. We say this person is good and honest. Or we say this person is bad and stupid. We must stop doing this and instead separate the person from the action. And yes, someone can have done more bad things than good things but that doesn't mean they are ultimately evil. In order to heal society we must learn this distinction. This is what I talk about in this episode. An example I bring up is a film called White Right which is a 2017 documentary film by two-time Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning director Deeyah Khan. Deeyah travels to the United States to meet with some of the country's most prominent neo-Nazis and white supremacist leaders to seek to understand the personal and political reasons behind the apparent resurgence of far-right extremism in America. She made the film after being interviewed on TV about multiculturalism for which she received many threats and hate speech on social media. The fascinating part about this to me is this documentary serves as a template to heal our nation because one of the leaders she got to know closely actually changed his mind and is no longer a white supremacist. For more on this, check out Deeyah's interview with Simon Sinek: https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-11-extreme-listening-with-deeyah-khan/. BUT, this notion also benefits us on a day to day level, which I also go over.

They called together a panel of speakers from different storytelling backgrounds exploring the ways that empathy and stories help us connect with others. Through the transformative power of compassion, World Without Hate invited us to renew feelings of hope and empowerment in the face of divisive rhetoric and rising hate crimes across our nation. Come together to explore the possibility of a world without hate, and reflect on the important tools that we all can utilize to build bridges and make connections. Rais Bhuiyan is the Founder and President of World Without Hate, an international motivational speaker, and a human rights advocate. Ten days after 9/11, a white supremacist in Dallas shot Rais from point blank range.

Extreme listening are two words that don't usually go together. But there is no other way to describe what Deeyah Khan does. A Muslim woman, she made a documentary, White Right: Meeting the Enemy, about spending time with white supremacists. Her results were so profound, it raises the question, what if we all had the capacity for extreme listening? This is…A  Bit of Optimism. YouTube: http://youtube.com/simonsinekFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/simonsinekLinkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/simonsinek/Instagram: https://instagram.com/simonsinek/Twitter: https://twitter.com/simonsinekPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/officialsimonsinek/

One of the top documentary filmmakers who knows how to get right to the core of the matter and ask the questions no one else dares to ask. Her bravery and compassion on the frontlines of her topics have led to her receiving awards and recognition from the industry and her peers. Deeyah Khan's films on women's issues and White supremacy are a must see!

In this episode Dr. Valente and Dr. Roemer discuss Deeyah Khan's 2017 Emmy-winning documentary White Right: Meeting the Enemy, and the historical parallels in the rise of anti-Semitism in moments of crisis in Germany in the 1930s and during the current COVID-19 pandemic. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ackermancenter/message

“The whole purpose of making the film for me was I wanted to try and see if I can understand them, and I want to see if they’re able to understand me…I know I’m not going to change my views and I know he’s not going to change his, but can we at least get to a point where…can I recognize their humanity? And in doing so, can they recognize mine?” -Deeyah Khan, Award-Winning Documentary Film DirectorDeeyah Khan is an Emmy and Peabody award-winning documentary film director, and founder of Fuuse, a media and arts company that puts women, people from minorities, and third-culture kids at the heart of telling their own stories. Deeyah is working to create intercultural dialogue and understanding by confronting the world's most complex and controversial topics.Her 2012 multi-award winning documentary, Banaz: A Love Story, chronicles the life and death of Banaz Mahmod, a young British Kurdish woman murdered by her family in a so-called honor killing. Khan's second film, the Grierson and Bafta award-nominated Jihad, involved two years of interviews and filming with Islamic extremists, convicted terrorists and former jihadis. Her most recent documentary White Right: Meeting the Enemy, where she spends months getting to know neo-nazis, is currently streaming on Netflix. Her 2016 TED talk has over a million views.In the process of making these documentaries and throughout her life as a brown woman, Deeyah has been spit on, held at gun point, and received countless rape and death threats. Yet she still walked away from these films with optimism and hope for humanity. In this interview of Stories of Transformation, we get to understand why that is.A few highlights of our conversation are:-Why some people respond to injustice with violence while others, like Deeyah, respond with picking up a camera-How Deeyah ended up in a crappy Chinese buffet in NYC right after receiving an Emmy for her first ever film Banaz-What powerful insights Deeyah learned through spending months interviewing Neo-Nazis, Jihads, and other extremists-How Deeyah overcame her fear when face to face with her biggest enemies-What happened when she joined some white supremacists at one of their rallies-The number one thing she learned about how we should engage with those that have a completely different worldview than ourselves-Who (or what), Deeyah learned, is actually our greatest enemyRead full show notes here.Connect with Deeyah KhanTwitter: https://twitter.com/Deeyah_KhanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/deeyahkhan/Website: https://deeyah.com/Follow/Support Stories of Transformation and Baktash Ahadi:https://www.baktashahadi.com/supporthttps://www.instagram.com/stories_of_transformation/https://www.facebook.com/Stories-of-Transformation-110335937120068/Produced by: Dana DrahosEdited by: Joseph Gangemi

From the Syrian conflict to Black Lives Matter; now more than ever there is an urgency for stories told by less represented and authentic voices emerging from affected communities. Getting access to a community not your own, to spend a few days filming on the ground, is widely considered ‘extractive’ storytelling. Can extended integration with protagonists truly embed a filmmaker with their subject's experience? What does it take to tell an ‘authentic’ story? A panel of filmmakers at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2018 share their own experiences of extractive vs authentic storytelling. Chaired by Anca Dimofte (Frontline Club) with filmmakers Molly Dineen, Leon Oldstrong and Deeyah Khan. Filmed by Sheffield Hallam University students and edited by Matthew Sturdy (Cosmic Joke).

CW: Hate speech/language. At the top of the show, I discuss the horrific Christchurch New Zealand Mosque shooting, and the white supremacist online shitposting nature of it. I revisit "The Hate Project: Episode 26" original air date March 25, 2013, which contains an insane rage-filled conversation with a white nationalist named "Loganhunter" who expresses aggrievement that white people and white countries are under attack from Jewish and non-white forces.  At one point he says that most churches are "communistic race-mixing whorehouses" which makes me question whether I should go back to church. Resident Klansman Dragon 1488 calls in, and seemingly sincerely invites me to a rally.  I do not take him up on it, but today in 2019, I wonder if I should have.  The reason for this is that I watched Deeyah Khan's doc "White Right", and her face-to-face interactions encouraged a couple of  neo-nazis to leave their hate groups.  However, I also grapple with the fact that it's not my or other people of color's job to reform racists, and it's also possible I would have just been used to give respectability to the klan. Also, Dragon simply continues to espouse his disgusting racist ideology and deflects the conversation when challenged. Also, a prank call and another call from anti-racist Patrick Hwang who again debates Dragon. I also discuss gay comedian Scott Kennedy who died in 2013.   Email: paradoxofcivility@gmail.comTwitter: @civilpodcastFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/paradoxofcivility/ References from episode: Christchurch New Zealand Terrorist and the White Power Symbol: https://www.thedailybeast.com/brenton-tarrant-idd-new-zealand-shooting-suspect?ref=scroll New Zealand White Supremacist Terrorist Inspired by Trump: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/03/zealand-mosques-attack-suspect-praised-trump-manifesto-190315100143150.html Deeyah Khan interviewing Nazis: https://www.vox.com/world/2019/1/14/18151799/extremism-white-supremacy-jihadism-deeyah-khan Comedian Scott Kennedy:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Kennedy Tucker Carlson White Nationalist Rhetoric:https://www.mediamatters.org/research/2019/03/11/unearthed-audio-shows-tucker-carlson-using-white-nationalist-rhetoric-and-making-racist-remarks/223105 Music:  Gnossienne no. 1 by International Surrealist Bulletinis licensed under a CC0 1.0 Universal License.Remedy for Melancholy by Kai Engel is licensed under a Attribution License. 

What draws someone into an extremist movement? Is it about ideology? Race? Politics? So many of our discussions about extremism try to explain away the problem by reducing its complexity, but that brings us further and further away from actually solving it. Deeyah Khan is a British documentary filmmaker and human rights activist. She’s the creator of two extraordinary films airing on Netflix right now, White Right: Meeting the Enemy and Jihad: A Story of the Others. The films do a remarkable job of showing why these opposing brands of extremism are both similar and reciprocal, and why the people they attract mirror each other in so many ways. Khan spent hours with the most extreme figures she could find, and made a real effort to understand what’s motivating them. She sat down with Vox’s interviews writer, Sean Illing, for a conversation about what she discovered, why the roots of fanaticism are much deeper than we suppose, and what we have to do win the battle against hatred.

Dag har ikke sett Gunnar på en stund, men Gunnar har sett Dag på TV. Jan-Ole Hesselberg er tilbake i studio hvor han nok en gang deler velvillig av sin kunnskap, og vår mancrush fortsetter å blomstre. Det prates om rasisme, implisitte assosiasjoner, og Derren Brown får virkelig strødd seg med både sukker og salt for sine drøye men ikke helt ærlige Netflix dokumentarer.

Dag har ikke sett Gunnar på en stund, men Gunnar har sett Dag på TV. Jan-Ole Hesselberg er tilbake i studio hvor han nok en gang deler velvillig av sin kunnskap, og vår mancrush fortsetter å blomstre. Det prates om rasisme, implisitte assosiasjoner, og Derren Brown får virkelig strødd seg med både sukker og salt for sine drøye men ikke helt ærlige Netflix dokumentarer.

At the age of 7, Leyla Hussein was a victim of FGM, Female Genital Mutilation, which is when the female genitalia is partially cut or totally removed and the remaining skin is sown together. In her participation in the College Freedom Forum 2018, she shares her horrible experience, some statistics, her awakening and the movement she has created to bring attention to this topic. 200 million girls and women from all over the world are at risk each year from undergo FGM, Hussein says. She herself became aware of the topic after her first pregnancy, where Jennifer Bourne, a nurse, explained her that the reason she was passing out every time she was examined was because her body still remembers the trauma. By the time this forum is actually finished 4,000 girls will undergo FGM. We are not talking about small numbers”. Her principal work as a psychotherapist is to create safe spaces for survivors of FGM. The Dahlia Project, a health advocacy project, is a counseling service where women realize that their experience is an abuse. FGM is not a cultural practice. FGM is fundamental to control women’s sexuality, to oppress women… It’s a process of grooming, that itself is another form of abuse”. FGM is a global issue. It happens in the US, Russia, Colombia, and Africa. Young people play a great role in this, she says, women must stand up and speak up. She introduces some of her fellow sisters that fight with her on a daily basis: Meron Estefanos, Deeyah Khan, Mona Eltahawy, Zineb El Rhazoui. The reason I do this work it’s because of my daughter. I want a world where every single girl can be free and safe. “ Don’t miss Leyla Hussein’s story and share this video to draw attention to FGM.

This Deeyah Khan episode is special. She is an award winning documentary filmmaker who has met and confronted Jihadists and members of the KKK in order to understand what drives them. So much insight, bravery and practical love on difficult topics - religion/race/gender/identity. Also COINCIDENTALLY I barely speak in it.

Filmmaker Deeyah Khan sat down with members of the white power movement in the United States to gain a better understanding of what motivates them to hate. She spoke with Colin about how she gained their confidence - and whether they have the capacity to change. Guest Deeyah Khan.

Når mennesker snakker i større og større bokstaver fordi de sliter med å finne nye og bedre motargumenter – gjør det oss mindre forsonlige og mer ekstreme? I sånne tider blir jeg så glad når noen skjærer gjennom med et eller annet som får meg til å senke skuldrene, puste roligere. Det skjer gjerne når noen nyanserer bildet og lanserer en tredje vei som løser konflikter, som får oss til å se lyset og bringer verden litt videre. Deeyah Khan, en norsk-pakistansk filmskaper, har laget en dokumentar der dette skjer. Arne Berggren er forfatter, dramatiker og musiker.

Season Finale: Robin on "everyday courage," lesbian moms, more climate-change impact, hereditary peers, and water on Mars. Guest: Emmy and Peabody winning filmmaker Deeyah Khan on her new documentary about neo-Nazis, "White Right: Meeting the Enemy."

As the child of an Afghan mother and Pakistani father raised in Norway, Deeyah Khan knows what it's like to be a young person stuck between your community and your country. In this powerful, emotional talk, the filmmaker unearths the rejection and isolation felt by many Muslim kids growing up in the West -- and the deadly consequences of not embracing our youth before extremist groups do. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Robin on "adoption" talks with Putin, saving Obamacare, defending Title IX, the conservative press pivot, and O.J.'s parole. Guests: Deeyah Khan's new digital magazine Sister-hood.com; Barbara Smith on her four decades of activism—and what's next. Deeyah Khan: Barbara Smith:

Filmskaper Deeyah Khan om ensomheten da hun flyktet til London som popstjernen Deepika, om ære - og skam-kultur, om undertrykking av kvinner i minoritetsmiljøer, om radikalisering og kjærlighet - og om hvordan møtet med ekstremistene satte henne fri. Med VGs politiske redaktør Hanne Skartveit. Produsert av Magne Antonsen. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Als in Norwegen aufgewachsenes Kind einer afghanischen Mutter und eines pakistanischen Vaters weiß Deeyah Khan, wie es ist, ein junger Mensch zu sein, der zwischen seiner Gemeinschaft und seinem Land gefangen ist. Die Filmemacherin holt in diesem kraftvollen, emotionalen Vortrag die Ablehnung und Isolation ans Tageslicht, die viele muslimische Kinder empfinden, die im Westen aufwachsen – und die tödlichen Folgen, wenn wir unsere Jugendlichen nicht annehmen, bevor es extremistische Gruppen tun.

Como hija de madre afgana y padre pakistaní criada en Noruega, Deeyah Khan sabe lo que se siente al ser una niña atrapada entre su comunidad y su país. En esta emotiva y poderosa charla, la cineasta saca a la luz el rechazo y el aislamiento que sufren muchos de los jóvenes musulmanes que crecen en países occidentales, así como las consecuencias fatales de no darles el apoyo que pueden acabar encontrando en los grupos extremistas.

Como filha de mãe afegã e pai paquistanês criada na Noruega, Deeyah Khan sabe o que é ser uma jovem presa entre sua comunidade e seu país. Nesta poderosa e emocionante palestra, a cineasta mostra a rejeição e o isolamento sofrido por muitos jovens muçulmanos crescendo no Ocidente e as consequências fatais caso não sejam acolhidos antes que extremistas o façam.

노르웨이 출신의 디야 칸은 아프가니스탄 출신의 어머니와 파키스탄 출신의 아버지 사이에서 태어나 지역사회와 조국 사이에 끼어버린 젊은이란 어떤 것인지 알고 있습니다. 이 강력하고 감정을 뒤흔드는 강연에서 이 영화감독은 서양에서 자라난 많은 무슬림 아이들이 느끼는 거절감과 고립감을 들려줍니다. 극단주의자들이 이들을 받아들이기 전에 우리가 포용하지 않으면 죽음으로 이어지는 결과를 초래할 수도 있습니다.

Enfant d'une mère afghane et d'un père pakistanais, élevée en Norvège, Deeyah Khan sait ce que c'est d’être une jeune coincée entre sa communauté et son pays. A travers ce discours puissant et plein d'émotion, la réalisatrice fait la lumière sur le sentiment de rejet et d'isolation connu par beaucoup d'enfants musulmans qui grandissent en Occident, et les conséquences fatales de ne pas comprendre notre jeunesse avant qu'elle ne tombe entre les mains des groupes extrémistes.

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sam Harris! We had an excellent, robust discussion on a variety of topics.

What happens when art forces you to leave everything you love ? What happens when the music forces you to be silent? The starstudded panel with Moddi, Deeyah Khan, Emel Mathlouthi, Stephen Budd, Mashrou' Leila and Freemuse Director Ole Reitov have all experienced censorship and they all have powerful stories to tell.

On 10 February 2016, Free Word, in collaboration with Fritt Ord and the Royal Norwegian Embassy, hosted a screening of Deeyah Khan's powerful film, 'Jihad: A British Story'. The screening was followed by a panel discussion and an audience Q+A involving Deeyah and some of those featured in 'Jihad', chaired by lawyer and cabinet minister Sayeeda Warsi. This event was part of Free Word's series, 'Unravelling Europe'. Against a backdrop of increasing fragmentation fuelled by anxiety and fear, the conditions and values that underpin our open, democratic societies are under threat. Putting artists at the heart of the discussion, 'Unravelling Europe' sets out to ask: why is this so, what are the consequences and how might we act to counter them?
