This Is What a Generation Sounds Like: Hanna - a podcast by Are We Europe

From Minsk and London, a story about the meaning of freedom. Hanna Komar, a poet, was jailed for her activism in Belarus. This week, she tells us what it’s like to move from a place where people have to fight for basic rights, to a place where people take them for granted.

This is the fifth episode from our series This Is What A Generation Sounds Like: intimate stories from young Europeans across the continent.

A beautiful visual version of this podcast will be available soon! In the meantime, check out the first visual podcast in this series: Josh and Franco.
