At the age of 20 I became a war reporter, self-exiled in the no-man’s land between Lebanon, Syria and Israel. There, I discovered a generation of young Middle Easterners who found refuge in rave parties.
They were fleeing the trauma of war. I was running from something else. Through transcendence and the feeling of being alive, our therapy was collective.
