A thousand [1000] farewells : a reporter's journey from refugee camp to the Arab spring
In 1976, Nahlah Ayed's family gave up their comfortable life in Winnipeg for the squalor of a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan. The transition was jarring, but it was from this uncomfortable situation that Ayed first observed the people whose heritage she shared. The family returned to Canada when she was thirteen, and Ayed ignored the Middle East for many years. But the First Gulf War and the events of 9/11 reignited her interest. Soon she was reporting from the region full-time, trying to make sense of the wars and upheavals that have affected its people and sent so many of them seeking a better life elsewhere.

- "Nahlah Ayad tells the story of her childhood, both in Canada and in a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan, and how those experiences led her to being a foreign correspondent in the Middle East. She brings unique insight to the events she covered as a journalist for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation."@en
