We went to Africa to tell the stories of families divided on two different continents. We went to find a three year old girl living in the world’s largest refugee camp and seperated from her mother in Minnesota. We found her. It became a centerpiece of a four part series and the most heartbreaking and compelling story I’ve covered.
