I followed a group of Burmese refugees from (almost) the moment they got off the plane to their new house in a rough Brooklyn neighborhood and out into the city during their first week in New York. A sidebar that briefly overviews the PATRIOT Act politics that have prevented other refugee groups from coming links from the story. The best part of the package is probably the photographer’s contribution, a slide show that really captures in their faces the worry, bewilderment, and excitement as they navigate their new world.
