lyrics

Elsie: They need to work, they need to work, pandemic or not they need to work.

Iranian interviewee: With the sanctions that the US have put on Iran it means that the government don’t have money and the people themselves financially are weak as well. So there’s not- we haven’t had a lot of ways to cope because the government doesn’t have enough money to continue the lockdown and the people themselves don’t have enough money to carry on being on lockdown. So our people because of political problems are suffering. Because to foreign governments their own profit is the only thing that’s important to them.

Hanif: I mean we can sit here and complain, you know, like in our houses you know like and watching Netflix and all that. But actually we don't deserve to complain.

Elsie: My mind goes on to Kenya; the people who live in slums. Oh my goodness. I, I could not imagine what they're going through. For starters slums are packed completely packed together - large acres of land completely packed together so they can't isolate even if they wanted to. These are people who work every single day, who need to work every single day to survive. I truly wonder how they're surviving and it scares me to think about, and er the most I can do is just carry my prayers with them.

Awiti: I’m from Kenya, and I live in Nairobi, in Mathare slum. People in the slum here they live from hand to mouth and er, almost 300,000 people lost their jobs, you understand? So the lockdown in Mathare slum has actually affected a lot of families. People don’t have food. You understand?
You understand?
You understand?
You understand?
