CULTURE TUESDAY - Stella Powell-Jones - Little Brother: A Refugee’s Odyssey.
Radio Maria UK
Artistic Director Stella Powell-Jones brings Little Brother: A Refugee’s Odyssey to life on Today’s Culture Tuesday. Adapted by celebrated playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker, Little Brother is a powerful retelling of the true story of Ibrahima Balde from Guinea, who risks everything to find his runaway younger brother on the dangerous migrant routes toward Europe. Based on the award-winning memoir by Ibrahima Balde and Amets Arzallus Antia, the play explores the harrowing realities faced by refugees — a crisis that Pope Francis has repeatedly highlighted as a human, not political, tragedy. Through Ibrahima’s journey and his heartfelt closing poem, audiences are invited to witness the plight of migrants with compassion and urgency, bearing witness to both the suffering and the hope found along the way.
