We discuss citizen journalism and political activism, and reflect on the current political paralysis and economic crisis engulfing Lebanon.
Our conversation includes grassroots civil engagement going back to 2008, newfound Lebanese identity, the powerful use of social media and a citizen-led fight to maintain freedom of expression.
We also talk about Minteshreen, Gino's personal commitment to Lebanon and his new online show, 'Bukra'.
