Attorney and activist Elica Le Bon joins DEAD Talks for a powerful and unflinching conversation about death, grief, and human rights in Iran. This episode explores how the tragic death of Mahsa Amini sparked a worldwide movement, while also examining the cultural desensitization toward death in Iranian society.

Elica, who has spent over a decade as a defense attorney and advocate, shares her own family’s history of loss and struggle while also shedding light on the current landscape in Iran. Together, we discuss the personal and collective grief of the Iranian people, the fight for justice, and how death often becomes both a catalyst for change and a reflection of resilience.

This raw and honest dialogue balances the gravity of loss with moments of humanity and levity, as we try to make sense of death’s role in both private grief and public revolution.

About DEAD Talks

 DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
