In this episode, Andreea Coscai shares a heartbreaking story about royal escape attempts and an inspiring fight for freedom. It’s a journey into the horrific experiences of Princess Latifa and Princess Shamsa as they try to escape from the oppressive rule of their father, Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai. This is The Runaway Princesses, a four-part narrative series from In the Dark and The New Yorker.
This series is raw and fearless in exposing a powerful man’s influence (and corruption) that seems unmovable. The intensity of this story might give you chills. It’s a testimony to the preciousness and deep need for journalism.
A quick note: this episode contains discussions of abuse, captivity, and trauma, which may affect some listeners. Please take care while listening.
