On this episode of Free Thinking with Montel, Montel Williams sits down with U.S. Army combat veteran, author, and Afghan refugee advocate Spencer Sullivan, co-author of Not Our Problem: The True Story of an Afghan Refugee, an American Promise, and the World Between Them. While serving in Afghanistan, Spencer formed an unlikely friendship with Afghan interpreter Abdulhaq Sodais, a man who risked his life working alongside American forces. But when Spencer returned home, Abdulhaq's fight for survival was far from over. After another interpreter Spencer served with was murdered by the Taliban, Abdulhaq disappeared, eventually resurfacing in Germany following a harrowing escape from Afghanistan. What followed was a years-long struggle to secure safety, navigate immigration bureaucracy, and hold America accountable to the people who stood beside its troops.
