Show Notes
For Kiana Hamzehi, a Santa Cruz-born daughter of Iranian parents, the Iran war is not some distant news story. She has relatives there under bombardment from the US and Israel. She talks about the grey areas of the war as seen from abroad. Information is spotty and when it does trickle in, people are stressed and in survival mode. For Elnaz Sarbar Bocek, an activist for women’s rights, speaking out about the war is personal. She left Iran at age 28 and likely cannot return without endangering herself and her family. As a mother of a toddler, she is aware of what might happen. In this show, we explore the nuances of being a citizen of two countries at war with each other.
