It is his company and perhaps it's time these refugee and immigrants these conditions on nationally recognized. Journalists illegal around the world. To cash it keep rice switches to us and absolutely obviously making big news this week especially so this is kind of back. It's a different look at what you would typically see and newspaper headline or I'm the nightly news because it's just focusing on. Back keys and who have not yet clemency in. Some cases actually needs it starts outwit any there it's much color actually. Portraits of some. Plant variance we just persecution. Or conflict him until with them held instantly in this country see stories behind some of these markets. It's really helps to humanize. And so we'll head inside and tell it starts first with. This wall. Like this exactly these things that and he keys aren't using she really. But their hopes and dreams on onion hot and he slept on the beaches. Listless restyled as you come across the tree. So it's all about me. Certainly it's just plastic glazing and ask that shipment to us attorney news. So now she's hospitalized this blast was the deadliest year. Half a million and don't like us the difference between. Bite to us. And so cast that the end strengths you. Certainly. There is some of these beautiful portraits of people who fled persecution is a woman named Patricia who lives.

Instantly situations do all of these pictures are east right here in the new light is actually. This woman Clinton Lawrence area she had an autistic son. Was such honest I'm eyewitness refugees must speak. I'll be sent in New Jersey and he starts speaking after seven years on plants. Sounds out. How would be individuals. Contacted any included. That's the question I think and that's how we took these pictures was working with the United Nations has come commissioner on refugees so they are out of some apartment. House isn't literally at their faith. Refugees who got through American were able to start a whole life and it is this case really changed or I think about it is that. And so I'm this guy.

Gary Hart Chalmers is easy winner coming across the Mediterranean. And this little child they're worried that he's not responding eastern China times.
