Internment
Narrated by Soneela Nankani
Written by Samira Ahmed
Imagine waking up in a world where your freedom is snatched away overnight—this is the chilling reality for 17-year-old Layla Amin in Samira Ahmed’s Internment. Set in a near-future America, Layla and her family are ripped from their home and forced into an internment camp for Muslim Americans, where every move is watched and hope seems in short supply. But Layla refuses to be silenced. With fierce determination, new friends inside the camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected ally, she sparks a rebellion that challenges injustice and inspires others to resist. Heart-pounding, emotional, and deeply relevant, Internment is a powerful call to action — reminding us all that even in the darkest times, courage and hope can ignite a revolution.
