‘Intensely intimate radio- unlike anything I’ve heard for a long time’

I’ve just been sent the link to a terrific short review of one of duckrabbit’s radio documentary’s that was recently on the BBC World Service.

This is intensely intimate radio- unlike anything I’ve heard for a long time. Dalia Khamissy, a Lebanese photojournalist, returns to Beirut to try to discover what happened to some of the 17,000 people who disappeared during her country’s civil war.

She doesn’t exactly find an answer – but the conversations she has with victims’ families and the kidnappers themselves are completely different from ordinary current affairs reportage. There’s one man in particular, a former kidnapper and executioner, who seems to treat his interview with Dalia almost as a religious confession.

Have a listen – but, needless to say, some of the content is quite disturbing.
