"We're all a product of refugees. If you go back far enough you will find a refugee in your family."

Actress Emma Thompson and her son Tindy, who fled Rwanda and was adopted by Emma in 2004, discuss Tindy's own journey, and their thoughts on the tremendous cultural upheaval often faced by the displaced.

#WorldRefugeeDay:
Millions of families have fled their homes to escape war or human rights abuses. Millions of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers – who are also students, musicians, cooks, and so much more. Refugees are ordinary people, living through extraordinary times. Please support us introducing these remarkable individuals to others.
