In this episode of Offbeat, hosts Giles Trendle and Sangeeta Waldron unpack Episode 5 of Legacy Makers, which features Palestinian journalist Shrouq Al Aila - a courageous female voice reporting from Gaza.

Giles and Sangeeta discuss the critical role climate journalists play as frontline storytellers, amplifying stories that expose the environmental realities often overshadowed by war. They make the point that media freedom is a climate solution.

This episode poses an urgent question: Can the world reach net zero or build a sustainable future while ‘mankind’ continues to wage war? With global conflict zones now covering an area twice the size of India since 2021, this conversation confronts the dangerous convergence of war, climate, and the freedom to tell the truth.

In this special episode of Legacy Makers, co-hosts Giles Trendle and Sangeeta Waldron speak with Shrouq Al Aila, a courageous Palestinian journalist in Gaza. She was awarded the Committee to Protect Journalists' International Press Freedom Award in 2024. Shrouq leads Ain Media, the company she took over after the death of her husband, filmmaker and journalist, Roshdi Sarraj, who was killed in the ongoing war on Gaza.

What unfolds is a raw and haunting conversation, a rare glimpse into life under siege. Shrouq reflects on the devastation of Gaza’s natural environment, the deep cultural connection Palestinians have with the land, especially with its trees, and most poignantly, the olive tree. She shares the daily struggle of surviving with her young daughter amid relentless bombardment, scarce resources, and overwhelming grief.

Shrouq’s words are both an elegy and a call to witness
