4m 51s
From Kyiv’s bomb-shattered dawns to Tehran’s “burnt generation,” four extraordinary leaders take you inside the defining conflicts of our era. In this raw, no-notes conversation they relive split-second escape decisions, childhoods under siege, and the myths that still keep Israelis and Palestinians apart. Their message: history is written by people who refuse to surrender their humanity.

- Resilience After Ruin: Rebuilding can be rapid when pragmatic coalitions form—mind-set often matters more than money.
