How fate and timing can decide a refugee's future

Clip: 4/7/2017 | 3m 13s

What makes me different from today’s Syrian refugees? Fate and timing.

As a Syrian-American journalist who has covered Syria’s refugee crisis, Alia Malek understands where they are coming from and where they’re going. The circumstances today are so different from when her parents left Damascus, yet it could have been her family caught in the horrors of war. Malek offers her humble opinion about how to practice empathy for the victims of the Syrian conflict.
