SIM Ep 484 Chops 198: Delphine Minoui, Syria, and the secret library of Daraya

When Delphine Minoui, journalist and Middle East correspondent for Le Figaro, discovered a photo of an underground library amid the rubble and battleground of the besieged Syrian city of Daraya, she had to find out more. And so started the incredible story of The Book Collectors of Daraya, an incredible tale of rebels, bravery and books. Mickey chats with Delphine about Daraya, the rebels she befriended, the women in hiding, what’s happening in Syria, and making an invisible story, visible.
