Leaving Iraq with Sara

A conversation with Sara, an Iraqi citizen who fled to the US because her brother's work for the American forces in Baghdad put her family in danger. She talks about the opaque process of applying to leave, and her complicated feelings when she learned that she would be allowed to pack two bags and leave her life behind. She also describes her work here as a translator, helping other Arabic-speaking New Mainers who are trying to adapt after starting from zero.
