EP5: The Meaning of Faith Our Darkest Day
-
- True Crime
Christchurch has faced accusations in the past of being a racist city - and many of the mosque survivors and victims's families have experienced racism in the past. For Janna and Aya, that means being told to 'go back to their country' in a department store, and for Wasseim, being visited by police for waving a flag with the shahada on it. This episode explores how Muslims retain their identity in New Zealand, how they've dealt with discrimination both before and after the attacks, and how the Christchurch mayor is attempting to make the city a 'catalyst for change'.CREDITSReporter & writer: Ashleigh StewartScript & story consultation: Popsock MediaProducers: Bashar Najjar and Basel Anabtawi'Our Darkest Day' is a Rising Giants Network production.
