Journalist and poet Mohamed Hassan shares stories, poetry and conversations with members of the Muslim community as he tries to come to terms with March 15 mosque attacks in Christchurch one year on.

"This being human is a guest house, every day a new arrival, an unexpected visitor."

In the aftermath of tragedy, how does a community learn to grieve; as a country, as individuals, and as a hidden minority suddenly thrust into the spotlight?

The Christchurch attacks left for some in the Muslim community a trauma that was hard to deal with, and questions about where they see themselves in the national identity of New Zealand. A home they loved dearly but didn't always feel they were welcomed in, or belonged to.

Over five episodes, and five intimate conversations, journalist and poet Mohamed Hassan - and producer of the award winning podcast Public Enemy - looks at the fractures left after March 15, the unspoken truths, the ripples sent throughout the world, and ultimately the path towards healing.
