Right the Wrong
We've made it half-way through season 1! RTW has been on a long break- our host had an intense year (the joys of indie podcasting). RTW is still active- we're going through a re-structuring, and will be moving to a model that's less than biweekly, but will get content out soon. As a one-person team, thanks for patience. Follow us on IG to stay up to date. As always, thanks for your support!----------------Every year, hundreds of global human rights defenders are murdered, imprisoned, or disappeared for their commitment to rights. But how many of those names do you know? Right the Wrong is for people who love true crime, care about understanding the world, and care even more for the people who fight to make it better. Join Ta’Mara Hill, for a deep dive into the cost of defending rights. These inspiring reflections will highlight a global advocate whose story needs to be told, and whose work lives on. Come discuss state crime, history, global affairs, and human rights. Come be angry...come be inspired...come ready to Right the Wrong.

Episode 1: The Murder of Fikile Ntshangase
Welcome to the debut episode of Right the Wrong!
Follow the environmental justice movement to South Africa, with me, Ta’Mara Hill. We’re taking a deep dive into the story of a Zulu grandmother, whose life was taken for defending the rights, land, and heritage of her community against the expansion of a coal mine. It’s a story involving community betrayal, combating corporate interests, and above all, standing up for what you believe in.
In this episode, you’ll learn the economic and legal context of this tragedy. You'll leave remembering Fikile’s name and what she stood for, in addition to some tangible advocacy steps you can use to be involved in the environmental justice fight in South Africa. You’ll also hear about how dire the situation is for global environmental rights activists and learn why RTW is dedicating an episode a season to climate and environmental justice.
