Stories of migration from Karen refugees | Postcards | FULL EPISODE

For 2,000 years, the Karen people have lived in the hills bordering the eastern mountainous region of Burma-also known as Myanmar. But through war, colonial forces, ethnic discrimination and genocide many have been forced to flee their land and apply for resettlement status in other countries. Hear the courageous and harrowing stories of migration from Karen refugees living in Minnesota about how they made it to safety.

Thank you PBS for sharing these families' plights. It's easier living in America, but certainly not taking away from their hardships with their journeys trying to find a better life here in Minnesota, America.

Brings tears to my eyes, when I hear about oppression from the Burmese and the eventual war between Knyaw Poe in 1994, KNU vs DKBA. Reminds me of my people 🇰🇭, Khmer Republic vs Khmer Rouge.
