Over the past 20 years, grassroots sponsorship group NEST has helped bring dozens of displaced families to safety in Canada. In this moving episode of Bridging Borders, we follow the harrowing journey of Samur—an Iraqi academic with a Ph.D. in cyber security—and his young family. Targeted by violent militias who systematically hunt down intellectuals and professionals in post-war Iraq, the family spent four agonizing years stuck in limbo in Jordan, forbidden from working and unable to return home. Watch the emotional moment they finally touch down in Saskatoon to face a crowd of strangers holding balloons, a brand new home waiting for them next door, and the daunting challenge of starting over from absolute zero.
Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have. Our channel offers a range of TV series and documentaries about human experiences and life journeys - while looking at the challenges life throws at us, turning ordinary people into everyday heroes.
