Episode 11: What happens if your voice is silenced?
Our voices matter to us, and having a voice is central to our experience as humans. But what if our voice is silenced, or gets taken away, or manipulated by the media? This is the experience of many refugees and migrants. In Episode 11, Cate talks about talking to the founder of Conversations from Calais, Mathilda Della Torre, who is using her graphic design skills to help re-humanise the refugee crisis by giving a voice to migrants in Calais. Some of the content is highly emotive. All of it is true.
