Lost in Translation
Haitham Jasim served as a translator for the U.S. Marines in his native Iraq. With the help of some local Marines, he has
now moved his family to San Jose. For many other Iraqis and Afghans who have assisted the U.S. war effort and are trying to
emigrate, it has been a much slower process. We explore that process with Jasim and other guests.
