WEBVTT - Introducing - The Burden: Avenger

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Hi there, It's Steve Fishman from Orbit Media and we've

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>got something really special for you and our newest podcast, Avenger.

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>This one's about a woman's survival and the burden of

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>getting justice for those she knew and loved, those who

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>did not survive.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 2>It was much more than a feeling. I knew that

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I was being followed.

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Late afternoon, nineteen seventy seven, Medium Lewin is running for

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 3>her life. She's nineteen. Argentina's military has taken power a

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 3>coup to bring back peace stability, to end with the

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 3>so called terrorists once and for all.

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I turn my head and I see a dark red

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Ford falcon and a long gun barrel hanging out from

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the windows. They tackle me and they tell

0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>me their.

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Police Medium no what she has to do. She and

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 3>her fellow activists had prepared for this.

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>It was an order, don't get captured alive. I take

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.320
<v Speaker 2>out the cyanide pill and I put it in my mouth.

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>The officers catch on and force me to spit it out.

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Never imagine they would catch me alive.

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 4>At that moment, I just wanted to die.

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>He says. I am the man responsible for your life

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and your death as long as you're good, nothing will

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 2>happen to you.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:41.960
<v Speaker 4>Medium Lewin Dearie Miriam Lewen, a nineteen year old student activist.

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Four decades later, Medium is among the few to survive.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 3>She's a respected journalist, but she can't shake her past.

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Her fellow prisoners had been put on planes and tossed

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 3>into the sea.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you know where the planes use for their dead

0:01:58.680 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>flights are?

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Then an Italian photojournalist comes into her life. These are

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 3>the guys who were responsible for the genocidal machine that

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>killed so many people. Together they will undertake an investigation

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>to solve one of the dictatorship's most heinous crimes.

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 4>This claimer was used to throw people to their deaths.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 4>People I knew, people I loved. The pilot involved in

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 4>what were known as the death flight will be judged.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 4>I still ask myself why did I survive? I'd say

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 4>it was to bring at least some of those pilots

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 4>of the death flights.

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:46.760
