Iraqi students to create audio documentary on effects of Iraq War
Chicago’s Public Radio had a very interesting exclusive Tuesday. CPR’s “Worldview” spoke with Fouad and Ahmed, two Iraqi participants in the Iraqi Student Project, a non-profit helping Iraqi students get degrees from American universities.
These teens, like so many others, fled Iraq to Syria because of the war and have found themselves in U.S. Before beginning their time at university, together these students took a road trip, stopping in New York City and Dearborn, Michigan, among other places, to learn from others how the Iraq War has affected their lives. Amazed by what they heard, these teens are now making an audio documentary about the effects of the war.
Listen to their opinions of America, and how what they found was different from what they expected:
