Refugee Journeys: Simon and Panther in their own words
Loading...
Uploaded by theirc on Oct 9, 2008
When Panther got off the plane in New York City to record this interview, he still wasn't sure that it would really be his old, dear friend, and fellow Lost Boy, Simon meeting him there. It had been six years since these best friends — friends like brothers — had last seen each other, in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya where they found refuge after a treacherous journey over 1,000 miles together from Sudan — the home they'd been driven from over 20 years ago by a bloody civil war. Since then, Panther had been living in Boston, attending Brandeis University; Simon had made his new home in Atlanta, working toward his degree and U.S. citizenship.
It was really Simon, and after they broke out of a tight embrace and much laughter, they sat down to record this reunion, and to reflect on the meaning of friendship, freedom, and the word theyre called by: lost. As Simon puts it: You are never lost until you don't know where you came from.

@TheTerminator97 I hope your joking cause if your not, then you are basically calling yourself all those names. We all came from the same place originally and your attitude is the one setting back this world instead of progressing it. Its sad.

Your fear is both humiliating and depressing.
You are far less human than these people.

Indians were pagan savages and nomands, we took their land through treaties and payments, and the only true justification which is force.
You nigger apes aren't even fucking human. Anyone who supports bringing you to our countries is a traitor.
