Manage episode 508350856 series 3319479
Fetisov and Lorenzo Natali award-winning investigative journalist Gabriela Ramirez, discusses her investigative journalism story "Widowed by Europe's Borders” about Sanooja's frantic fight to find her husband Sanrim, who went missing in the forest after being illegally pushed back by Lithuanian authorities. The couple from Sri Lanka, highlights the struggles faced by migrants at European borders, and the grim reality of over 30,000 deaths along Europe's borders in the past decade, most of which unfold in total obscurity.
Gabriela and our cofounder Douglas Herman delve into the ethical dilemmas of reporting on such sensitive topics, the personal connections formed during the reporting process, and the broader implications of migration policies in Europe. Gabriela emphasizes the importance of humanizing migrant stories and the ongoing fight for justice faced by families of missing migrants, and the human rights all people deserve, even after death.
