About this episode

“Have you ever touched the skies? Have you ever touched the clouds? Have you ever reached the moment where time and space disappear? Where you meet emptiness? I mean, there, up above, have you ever touched it?”

Jennifer Nasrallah performs a monologue composed of the remembrances of three Syrian women who live here now. (This piece was compiled by Abdul-Raouf Mohammed.)
