Radio


Today I interviewed Barati Palshigar. During the war, she was a radio broadcaster who tried to give people information. She had to interpret many languages. Her worst enemy was misinformation. People had been told so many lies during the war. One terrible lie I learned about was that some men were telling woman and young girls that they could be cleansed by sexual intercourse. Also, there were many misconceptions like the zombies were intelligent and they could use tools. There were so many myths that had to be destroyed. Barati Palshigar seemed like a smart woman to me, and I enjoyed the interview. Her story wasn't really frightening to me like some of the stories I have blogged about.

Its a shame that many people were misguided by false information during the war and this just goes to show that war is terrible.
