Notas del episodio

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains references to violence and a mention of SA against children.

“January 1941. A terrible crime is taking place in a clinic for disabled children. The perpetrators argue that it will help struggling parents and lift the financial burden on the mighty German state. One brave voice is raised in objection. But will the doctor listen?”

In this episode, Sam and Alex welcome their very first guest to the show. Director, writer and teacher Stephen Unwin talks about his play All Our Children; his experiences as the father of a disabled son; his work in disability rights and activism; Aktion T4, the Nazi campaign to ‘euthanise’ all those with physical and mental disabilities; and the play’s terrible relevance today.
