Host Daro Behroozi interviews writer and activist Ali Issa, whose recent book “Against All Odds: Voices of Popular Struggle in Iraq” compiles interviews with, and reports from, Iraqi feminists, labor organizers, environmentalists, and protest movement leaders. “Against All Odds” presents the unique voices of progressive Iraqis organizing on the ground. Dating back to 2003, with an emphasis on the 2011 upsurge in mobilization and hope as well as the subsequent embattled years, these voices belong to Iraqis asserting themselves as agents against multiple local, regional, and global forces of oppression. Produced by Ben Barson.
