Episode Synopsis

Parham Pourdavood, an incoming computer science student at UC Berkeley, grew up in Iran. He says that he, like most people, didn't challenge authorities. He wasn't an activist. He studied hard in high school and didn't draw attention to himself. He'd heard about government oppression, but hadn't seen it with his own eyes. He just knew he couldn’t speak his mind. It's why he's such a strong supporter of free speech today.Story and photos on UC Berkeley News: http://news.berkeley.edu/2017/11/21/growing-up-without-free-speech/ Hosted on Acast.
