My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Writing about the Migrant Crisis

In 2018, journalist Sally Hayden received a Facebook message from a refugee being held prisoner in Libya asking for help. This message was the start of an investigation into the North African migrant crisis and the devastating consequences of increasingly hostile Western migration and border policies. My Fourth Time, We Drowned is a book about people who have risked everything to survive in a system that wants them to disappear, offering people a voice amidst a system that wants them to be silent.

Chaired by Dr Jelena Obradovic-Wochnik, Centre for Migration and Forced Displacement at Aston University, join us for an event that offers a clear-eyed insight into the human rights crisis we are bearing witness to, and what we can do to help.
