So I'm Charlotte Eagar.
3:43
I was a journalist for many, many years and as a foreign correspondent.

And in fact, Pete and I came across each other in Croatia back in the early '90s, um, during the war there, which I covered for The Observer.

And so I'd always worked with refugees, interviewing them.
3:56
And then-- But we got into writing film scripts.
3:59
Um, we made a film that did quite well, and then we were asked to do a drama therapy project by Oxfam.

So t- tell us, tell us a bit about h- how your life as a, as a war correspondent made you think about displaced peoples, about the daily lives, particularly of women trying to find sanctuary in wars that are typically fought by men.
