The "Speak Easy” podcast series by Sri Lankans Without Borders ("SLWB") explores Sri Lankan issues from the perspective of the different communities of Sri Lankan origin living in Canada and elsewhere. In this episode, a few friends of SLWB gather to commemorate and remember the conclusion of Sri Lanka’s Civil War in 2009 and the various emotions each felt during that time. In revisiting that period, we discuss how our respective reactions to the war ending and how those experiences have shaped our current understandings of identity and the challenges that communities have struggled with and will likely continue to grapple with in the future.
