ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Valery Perry talks with Samir Beharic, who started his career as a young activist in high school and is now working on his PhD in Germany. They talk about the lack of concerted civic actions in BiH and the region taking on the big issues and frustrations that unite people, in general but in particular with regard to mining and extraction. The inability to break out of these straight jackets makes the global tectonic shifts happening even more worrying. But both agree that the only solutions that work will ultimately come from the bottom up.
