Northern Iraq & Istanbul - Iraqi Freedom

Season 5 Episode 501 | 26m 46s | CC

The Good Road explores religious freedom and pluralism in a region haunted by violence and trauma. We hear personal stories of resilience and survival and meet a reporter in Istanbul, Turkey who has covered the region for decades. What do a Bahai, a Christian, and an atheist all have in common in a predominantly Muslim country? They all believe in the future of Iraq for everyone.
