About This Podcast

The Unrooting follows Maung’s story from the early warning signs of exclusion to the moment his family is forced to flee — and then into the grueling logistics of survival on the move. Subsequent episodes explore life in limbo, the systems that govern who can move and who cannot, and what it means to rebuild in a new place while still longing for home.
