Leaving for Love?

May 18, 2019

How far would you go for love? We follow an American woman, Katrina Jabbi, on her quest to reunite her children with their deported father.  She says the current crackdown on immigration split her family apart and how she’s torn between her life in Wisconsin and her husband in West Africa. After overstaying his visa, will her husband ever get a chance to legally return to the United States or is The Gambia their home forever? Correspondent Leoni Lakhani follows this family’s journey.
