Safe Mode

Available for over a year

On the theme of safety and personal security, we meet Shoana Solomon, a mother from Liberia who moved her kids to the US to get away from Ebola, only for her children to run into new problems in their American classroom. Plus, wedding gown designer Jill Andrews shares how she became involved in an effort to create a better Ebola hazmat suit. Also in this edition, we find out why canals could be the solution to Boston’s climate change challenge. We hear how images of death and torture in Syria, taken by photographer Caesar, are echoing past horrors at the US Holocaust Museum. And, we meet Laura Poitras - the documentary film-maker who was there when fugitive intelligence analyst Edward Snowden first started to talk. Plus, the man who claimed to be a whaler, and other online dating adventures of Anya Ulinich. (Photo: Shoana Solomon holds up a sign I am Liberian, Not a Virus, courtesy of Shoana Solomon)
