Voices from Iraq: Zeena Rahman

The NewsHour recently talked to three Iraqis living in America about the crisis back home. They spoke of their childhoods in Iraq, the U.S. invasion and its aftermath, the sectarian fighting that followed, and this year’s bloodshed by ISIS militants. Among them, Zeena Rahman, a 30-year-old law associate who left Baghdad in 2003 and now lives in Virginia, helping bring Iraqi refugees to the U.S.
