Zeit der Zäune erzählt von Orten der Flucht, zu denen Katja Riemann allein und ohne ein Team an ihrer Seite reiste. Wo sind diese Orte und wie leben Menschen im Interim? Sie geht der Frage nach, ob Menschen in offiziellen Camps, inoffiziellen Dschungeln, im Warten und der Ungewissheit erfinderisch sind und gestaltend. Und begegnete erstaunlichen Personen und Situationen. Sie begleitete vor Ort die Projekte von Filmschaffenden, Theaterleuten, Traumatologinnen, Ärzten, Köchen und vielen anderen und schreibt einfühlsam mit dem Blick für Details über deren Ideen und Herausforderungen.

Engaging and eye-opening, We Thought It Would Be Heaven brings listeners into the daily lives of Congolese refugees and offers guidance for how activists, workers, and policymakers can help refugee families thrive.
