Mit Vanessa Vu & Ahmad Katlesh
Die Lebenswege des Schriftstellers Ahmad Katlesh und der Journalistin Vanessa Vu sind durchtränkt, aber nicht bestimmt von Kriegen, Flucht und Migration. Doch was bedeuten diese Erfahrungen für ihre Gegenwart? Das Paar liest aus seinem Buch über Internetcafés, Geister und Grenzen, über Missverständnisse und davon, was es heißt, wenn Politisches immer wieder ins Private einbricht.
