Uri was born in Tel Aviv and worked as a journalist, history teacher, and gardener. In his twenties, he was one of the founders of a political movement called "Anarchists against the Wall", which was active at the beginning of the 2000s. He’s been living in Portugal for the past 16 years and holds a special place in his heart for the topics of food autonomy and education.

A few important disclaimers:
This podcast is created and funded by me privately. I don’t belong to any organisation, nor does it represent anyone other than myself.
Secondly, I don’t intend this content to provide a justification or excuse for the actions people interviewed did in their past, but rather to learn from their personal experiences and gain insight as to what the process of transformation looks like. Certain parts of the episode could be triggering for you, and I advise taking into consideration that some of the events discussed are morally and ethically challenging (to say the least).
And lastly:
I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I work as the indigenous people of this country, and pay my respects to their elders, past and emerging.
