One Thing: Iraq to Detroit

As of a month ago, a few more than 1,100 Iraqis had resettled in the United States since last year. The government hoped to have that number at 7,000, but blames the shortfall on an archaic bureaucratic process. The Augustin family are refugees from Iraq and feel lucky that they were among the chosen few. They had to flee Iraq because of their religious beliefs, and now they live in Detroit, Mich. As part of the Weekend America series “One Thing,” producers Ann Heppermann and Kara Oehler talk with the Augustins about the one thing they managed to hold on to as they fled Iraq: their home movies.
