Giving water and land a voice, Weak Enough to Hear imagines a day spent along the Euphrates River. The storyline subtly references the murder of Ahmed Jabbar Kareem Ali, a 15-year-old boy drowned by British troops in 2003 after being accused of looting. His fictional ghost anchors the narrative by raising questions about the power of those who control access to the resources and history of the river and surrounding land.
