interview sans concession


Explanation:
A suggestion. As a native EN speaker I have never heard the word grappling used to describe an interview; I am not sure how an interview can grapple.... (sigh) anyway, having the feeling that it is a word that is meant to mean "tough", "gets down to the nitty-gritty"or"it really grabs your attention", I have decided to suggest an expression used in similar circumstances in FR.

grappling interview > gripping interview
entretien passionnant/captivant


Explanation:
This appears to be a malapropism for "gripping interview".

Reference information:
In this grappling interview, Refutales founder Sajida Altaya shares her experiences as a refugee in Europe with her co-founders Dorien Dierckx and Cornelius Roemer. Part I of this three part series deals with her journey to Germany and the first months there.
Part I: Arrival
Why did you leave Syria?

“My family and I didn’t feel secure there anymore. In the summer of 2014, the town I grew up in, about an hour drive south of Damascus, turned into a place of fighting between the government’s forces and rebels. As a result, we moved to Damascus itself in the hope that things were quieter there.

But even there, the situation was dangerous so after a month we decided to flee to Europe like many others. It just wasn’t possible to carry on with regular life anymore. My sister decided to stay with her husband in Damascus, however we took her 9-year-old daugther with us, in the hope that my sister could follow later. She and her daughter are now separated for more than two years.
