In 2003, against all odds and under Saddam Hussein’s leadership, Global Nomads Group (GNG) sent a team to Iraq. The goal was to establish a real-time dialogue between teens in Connecticut and Iraq. GNG received special permission to make this historical, digital cross-cultural connection; two weeks later the two countries went to war. Ten years later in March of 2013, several years after the war ended, the two groups meet again, this time in person in New York City. Now as academics, doctors, teachers, parents and more, these young adults commemorated this monumental event, discussed and explored the changes that have occurred in their lives, in Iraq, in the US, as well as the world.
