i wouldn't have felt safe if i'd gone back to montana by the st. louis, missouri like pieris or he hadn't planned to become a refugee back home. he was at of going to prison. staying in germany, meant starting from scratch. holy had with him was a satchel, like this one. for bulwark i saw the feeling i got from germany was one of safety awful. i knew i had support and will be able to return to a normal life. while also resuming my sporting career, her to do her free baghdad. but there are limits to that support a life in exile also means having to fight for your own statist. filling out applications, arranging appointments and spending hours, traveling to different authorities. for cancer and pieris are alike,

it's all been an additional challenge. sorry, it is under your comment. the living conditions are completely different. it's a different culture and language, alicia, there are so many challenges and barriers that i have to overcome so that my life can continue my walk. sports used to provide a welcome change. now their minds stay on iran trying to stay up to date with what's happening at home impacts that training. still, they're determined to qualify for major tournaments and when metals both athletes train regularly at the ty, quando elite club in berlin, where they've also found a new sporting family. the club was immediately sympathetic towards the plight of the 2 refugees, especially in the 1st few months when it wasn't even clear if they'd be allowed to stay in germany. both have since been granted. residents permits here and can

square up against each other. they can fight for their rights, but most importantly, carissa and catherine support each other. a broad teresa also wants to be an inspiration for others. why? look at that? look. for brass, this man. it's just fantastic working here with kids. they listen to me, even though my german isn't great mind. i used to coach kids in iran to hear i wasn't sure whether i'd be able to make that connection with them. it isn't it. but from day one they seem to like me, which is a big deal for me. i will so sorry. stell my exhibit. she hasn't told the kids about what's happening in iran at the moment. although they can sense that something is troubling her. the iranian diaspora has been organizing demonstrations abroad in berlin,

people protest against the regime every week. i hope i am took him and i live in germany and don't just want to be a bystander and watch and i can't do that. so i'm assuming it's when i'm incredibly, what i can do now is support demonstrations against the iranian regime. here in germany, she had smartshoot and use social media to show the world what incredible things are happening in iran right now. it's a forward to that, you know, moved out of misery to hollywood in iran and abroad. people are angry at the enforcement of the islamic dress code and a seeking freedom that am i, most iranians are against the veil and the islamic dress code for women. and i'm part of this group and i think that all people should choose for themselves whether they want to wear a veil or lot, or just as it is another country's automobile. women must have freedom of speech and self determination. what is wonderful? ah, ah,
