What do you love about your life, Khatira Vahabzadeh?

Fionn interviews Khatira Vahabzadeh, emigrée to Ireland of Persian descent, from Afghanistan. Her husband appears as a featured cook in the documentary series Taste of Home, producing an aubergine curry barbequed in an Athenry glasshouse. Working with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and Jess Murphy, owner and Head Chef of Kai restaurant, Galway, these four short documentaries follow our cooks as they meet Irish producers and chefs all over the country to showcase their home cuisine from Afghanistan, Palestine, Guinea and Yemen. Jess Murphy is a UNHCR high-profile supporter and has been supporting the organization since 2017.
More than 100 million people have been forced to flee war, conflicts and persecution around the world. UNHCR is a global organization working to save lives, protect rights and build a better future for refugees, internally displaced communities and stateless people.
Help give refugees what we want for ourselves and our loved ones: shelter, access to clean water, healthcare, education and jobs. Every person has the right to seek safety, whoever they are, wherever they come from, and whenever they are forced to flee.
Recorded during the Galway Film Fleadh, June 2022. Our thanks to the organisers for special access to so many fascinating people.
