We're with Zeina Saab for Episode 255 of The Beirut Banyan.
We discuss her book project: 'We Were There: A Book About the Beirut Explosion' and reflect on the pursuit of poetic justice through preserving and honoring collective memory.
Our conversation includes the wider role of civil society in the aftermath of the port blast, grassroots-led movements seeking political power and real inspiration at a time of tragedy and prolonged uncertainty.
Zeina Saab is the Founder and Director of Nawaya and Co-Founder at SE Factory.
