Asia in the Shadows
By
Asia In The Shadows is a true crime podcast hosted by Filipino-German Christine Abrigana. Christine is also known as the host of Lagim: A Filipino True Crime Podcast. She is a former lawyer, an avid traveller and someone who is fiercely proud of her Filipino and Asian roots.
This was the main reason why Asia In The Shadows was created. This podcast will highlight crime stories from all over Asia, the largest and most diverse continent on the planet. In a genre that is largely dominated by Western podcasters and stories. True crime as a genre is therefore in need of a fresh infusion of stories from Asia that will not only look at the individuals involved but also at the unique cultures they find themselves in. As diverse as Asia is, some human conditions remain uniform and relatable for everyone – a reason to listen to this podcast no matter where you are from.

Pınar had just graduated from university and had plans to move back home in time for Eid. What was supposed to be a short shopping spree at the local mall turned into an intense 5-day search for the young woman from Bitlis. Where had Pınar gone and who was she with?
At a time of social upheaval in many parts of the world and during a global pandemic, Pınar’s case would force Turkey to do some introspection and evaluation as to the treatment of women in Turkish society. Despite living under a government hell bent on curtailing women’s rights, it seems that women in Turkey will continue their fight that Pınar, unknowingly, helped start.
