from the tisch wnet studios at lincoln center in new york, hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: good evening and thanks for joining us. the mayor of houston had a message for his constituents in the nation's fourth largest city today-- please, stay off the roads. the warning came as hurricane harvey-- still classified as a tropical storm-- dumped torrential rainfall on the texas coast along the gulf of mexico. two days after making landfall as a category four hurricane friday night, harvey has weakened, but with little relief for millions of texans. at least five deaths are blamed on the storm. an estimated 300,000 texans are without power today. parts of southeast texas expect a cumulative 50 inches of rain, the most ever recorded in the state from one storm. the worst flooding is in houston, where there have been more than 2,500 rescue calls. >> wading through deep water in search of higher ground people used inflate annal rafts and even air mattresses to get through floods. in the town of dickinson south of houston, a resident describe: >> it came up like a tsunami almost. >> rescuers >>

and sort of those two threads are kind of splitting haris.oesn't know why he's necessarily going to fight. he just knows he's drawn back to the war. and part of that also comes from the fact that he's this man of two identities. he was an iraqi who collaborated with the americans during the war and then became an american citizen but he feels conflicted between his american identity and his identity as an iraqi. and so he's someone who resettles in the u.s., doesn't necessarily find the life he wants there but now that he's left iraq he can't go back and so he is seeking, in some ways, we don't know whether it's redemption or almost a sort of self-destruction in his desire to go fight in syria. you're giving voices to people we don't often hear from, including i.s.i.s. fighters, the kind of hardline voice we know is out there but we don't see represented in fiction. you're humanizing them in some way. >> heaven forbid you humanize these people. >> brown: and i think that's-- just because you're trying to humanize someone or you're trying to u
