Episode 4: Iraq, US, and ISIS

Join Noor Mousa as she shares her experiences and thoughts on growing up in Iraq, with British-German journalist Alannah Travers who has lived in the country for one year - and counting.
Episode 4 starts in the United States, as Noor leaves Iraq for the first time. When she returns, we discuss the changes she lived through in the country up until 2016, as the so-called Islamic State group terrorised and uprooted millions of Iraqis, and international attention returned - in part. In this period, Noor moved to Erbil to be closer to the humanitarian crises in Mosul and beyond, learning of harrowing stories from the frontline.
Together, they explore events and personal stories from Iraq’s recent history, marking moments of confusion in the life of one young Iraqi.
