We're with Monika Borgmann for Episode 249 of The Beirut Banyan.

We discuss UMAM Documentation & Research's contribution to collective memory and the wider power of storytelling.

We also reflect on Monika's relationship with Lokman Slim, the aftermath of his assassination and the consequences of impunity.

Our conversation includes a shared pursuit for justice against all odds.

Monika Borgmann is Co-Founder and Co-Director of UMAM Documentation & Research.
