Chicagoans is a first-person account from off the beaten track, as told to Anne Ford. This week’s Chicagoan is Othman Al Ani, a former refugee.
“At the theater, I don’t know where to go, I don’t know how to pay, I don’t even know how to use money. I told the cashier, ‘This is my second day in United States, and I haven’t been in a movie theater before.’ She was very excited to help me. When I told her I’m from Iraq, she wanted to hear about how I came. It was a great experience.
