Today, we're reaching into the vault and pulling out a pilot episode from mid-2020, before we knew what exactly this podcast would look like. Damascus to DC tells the story of Mamoun, a Syrian-Lebanese attorney whose life journey took him across the world from his hometown Damascus to Washington D.C. after he was forced leave Syria. Part 1 focuses on Mamoun's upbringing, what it was like to live in Syria when Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father, and how the first protests began in 2011.
