It's been over a year since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, and around 74,000 to 76,000 Afghans fled the country and resettled in the United States. 10,000 of them have settled in Austin, Texas and are trying to resettle their families into a new life. Foreign Policy reporter Cristina Maza traveled to Austin to report on how they've transitioned into their surroundings and she talks with Managing Editor Mackenzie Weinger on why they left Afghanistan and what challenges they face in America.
