In the debut episode of Lola’s Diary, 11-year-old Lola wakesup to a frightening new reality: Kuwait has been invaded.

What began as a sun-soaked summer filled with cartoons and carefree days quickly transforms into fear, confusion, and a deep longing for her mother, who works as a nurse amidst the chaos.

Join Lola as she recalls how sirens did not mark the arrivalof war, but by her sister's panicked voice and the rumble of tanks approaching.

11-year-old Lola's life completely changed when the Gulf War broke out on August 2, 1990. What struggles and moments did Lola experience as a child during this time? How does Lola cope and rebuild her life after fleeing the country she loved?
