Friday, November 6, 2009
The Fahnbullehs arrived in Chicago from Sierra Leone where they had been living in refugee camps. New refugees arriving in Chicago are met at the airport by a refugee resettlment agency.
 A recent study by a local pan-African organization suggests resettlement programs in Illinois are in crisis. We’ll talk with Lisa Simeone, one of the authors of the report and Edwin Silverman, Chief of the Illinois Department of Human Services Bureau of Refugee and Immigrant Services. Later, Worldview film contributor Milos Stehlik interviews Polish film director and screenwriter Ryszard Bugajski.
