Being a first-generation migrant son of migrants. And for me that world seemed like this weird no-man's land that had rules that were halfway between the strong, masculine Afghan of the village of warriors and, on the face of it, outlaw culture was that in a very different way.
Imagine finding a sense of brotherhood in the most unexpected place. That's what happened to Mahmood Fazal, the son of Afghan refugees, who was drawn into the hard-headed glamour of an outlaw motorcycle club. In this gripping episode of 'Days Like These', Mahmood shares his personal journey into a world that's often misunderstood and vilified.
He opens up about the bonds he formed, the loyalty he experienced, and the harsh realities he faced, including the sudden deaths of those close to him. These tragedies force Mahmood to confront his own mortality and question his ties to Melbourne's criminal underworld. Hosted by Elizabeth Koulas, this episode isn't just for true crime enthusiasts; it's for anyone who appreciates raw, personal narratives that challenge stereotypes and offer deep insights into human resilience and transformation.
Mahmood's story sheds light on the often unseen aspects of bikie culture, revealing a side of it that's rarely portrayed in the media. So, if you're curious about the complexities of loyalty, grief, and personal growth within such a controversial subculture, this episode is a must-listen.
