On this edition of Free City Radio, photographer Sebastian Backhaus speaks in Berlin about documenting war in Ukraine. Sebastian contrasts social and political responses in Europe to the war in Ukraine with recent conflict points in Syria and Iraq, while also speaking about the welcoming response that Ukrainian refugees in Germany have been getting in contrast to the racism that many refugees from Iraq and Syria experienced. Also Sebastian speaks about being in Kiev in the first days of the war, the atmosphere and also the role of documentation in shaping perspectives on the war.
