8. The Country In Our Hearts
In 1988, hundreds of thousands of Kurds fled northern Iraq as Saddam Hussein's armies hunted them down. Many
ended up in Nashville, making this southern city home to the largest Kurdish community in America.Their stories are epic. Stories of bloody genocide, freedom fighters, faraway mountains and the American Dream. But the story of the Kurdish people, no matter where they are, is a story about a country that only exists in the hearts of its people. Across centuries, across continents, across generations — this is a story about a people's fight to exist.
