Uncivilised. Illegal. Security threat.

Our first episode introduces Georgio Konstandi, a Bosnian Genocide researcher.
The Bosnian Genocide lasted from 1992-1995 and saw the worst atrocities committed in Europe since WW2.
In this episode, Georgio speaks about his projects dedicated to raising awareness about the Bosnian Genocide by working with survivors. We also speak about the dehumanising language used to justify the genocide and why it continues to be a lesson for all of us about what can happen when discrimination and hate speech goes unchecked.
