Your Fellow Americans
Malek Family - Part 1: Intimidated Life
Special | 6m 42s
"We had a good life in India. Over here we had nothing. Zero."
"Until we take that test of citizenship - until you read through the histories - you don’t know what this country was and you lead an intimidated life. And we did not think we had a right to do anything to make our lives better." - Shaheen Malek. In the video above, the family discusses their immigration experience and how they felt once they became citizens of the United States.
