I'm Not a Monster: The Shamima Begum Story
BBC Sounds, from Wednesday
A threat to national security or a teenage girl who was abducted? The story of Shamima Begum sparks a range of opinions, but investigative journalist Josh Baker is determined to separate fact from fiction. He does so with painstaking research, retracing Begum's journey from east London to Syria. Meeting her in a detention camp, he invites her to tell her own complex story. The first season of I'm Not a Monster won awards, and this one has the potential to do the same. Hannah Verdier
