The song is a response to the regime's violence. "Walls" has also become an anthem in Belarus. Even folk songs sung under the white, red and white flag have power. Graffiti appears on the walls. The Belarusian revolution creates its own culture and art, which revives the history of a long-sleeping nation.

The podcast uses excerpts from the following songs:

- "Walls" translated by Andrei Chadanowicz and performed by Nastya Niakrasava
- "Peremen" by Irdorath and the demonstrators
- "Kupalinka" - from the "Hold the fire" concert at the POLIN Museum
- "Mahutny Boża" - performed by the musicians of the Minsk Philharmonic during the protest
- "Woiny Swieta" - Belarusian version 2020 and protesting students of one of the high schools

Voiceovers: John Beauchamp, Amy Drozdowska, Jaroslaw Kociszewski
