About this episode

في الحلقة الثامنة من بودكاست غيّر الموجة، نديم القاق يحاور منسق حملة الحفاظ على مرج بسري، المهندس رولان نصّور، عن سحب تمويل البنك الدولي لمشروع سد بسري، وكيف نجحت الحملة البيئية بإسقاط المشروع عبر أدوات وجهود معارضة مختلفة، وما هي الدروس التي يمكن استخلاصها من تلك التجربة في مناهضة المنظومة النيوليبرالية الطائفية.

On the eighth episode, Nadim El Kak is joined by the coordinator of the Save Bisri campaign, architect Roland Nassour, to discuss the World Bank withdrawing its funding of the Bisri dam project, how different advocacy and resistance strategies succeeded in undermining the project, and lessons that can be drawn from this experience in opposing the capitalist and sectarian establishment.
