Ep.8 The stories untold

Ep.8 The stories untold It’s one thing breaking a story- but how do you keep reporting a story that unfurls over years and not days? Rebecca Omonira-Oyekanmi explains how she travelled to the vast refugee camps of Ethiopia before Rossalyn Warren takes up the baton, reporting from the perilous sea-crossings on the Mediterranean. Working freelance, both women struggle to do the stories they care about while making a living. WARNING: This episodes contains descriptions of domestic violence.
