A Merciless Light - Covid 19 in Newham Maslaha

“A Merciless Light - Covid 19 in Newham” is a 30 minute audio documentary that shares stories from Newham residents of how Covid 19 was, and is being, experienced by communities in Newham.

We wanted the documentary to uplift voices and stories that are otherwise not being heard and to create an archive of evidence and research that speaks back to 'official' reports and reviews.

The audio documentary features (in order of appearance):

Aamna Mohdin
Amina Gichinga
Yesim Deveci
Asif Khapedi
Asma Bhol
Julian Hilaire
Shahjehan Chowdhary
Ayat Haqani
Dr Rehana Aslam
James Leadbitter

This audio documentary was co-produced by Latifa Akay, Emily Mason and Ghazal Haqani.
