Season 4 - Episode 24: "It was an unexpected part of my life. At the time, I was working as a freelance journalist, and I was doing a lot of reporting for Vice. I happened to be in Bangladesh just for a couple of months, and I was living with my parents in Dhaka for Eid. Suddenly, the crisis just happened all of a sudden in August 2017. I started to see a lot of news stories about the crisis, and my dad just said, 'why don't you go down to Cox's Bazar and see what's going on? You should probably go report on it since you're right here in Bangladesh.' So that's what I did, and I had never done any conflict reporting before. I had only been reporting on refugees in the US. It's a very different context reporting on refugees, the settlements, problems that they face, and integrating into American society than refugees in Bangladesh. Nothing would have prepared me for what I saw in Cox's Bazar.
