The Home Clock: Episode 3 of Our Podcast Series, “A Better Life?”

When New York City became the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, Brooklyn-based producer Beenish Ahmed struggled over whether to visit her parents in Ohio or stay put. Her parents — a landlord and hairdresser who immigrated from Pakistan in the ‘70s — begged her to come home. When Beenish finally decided to go in May, she recorded that journey, and the discoveries she made about her family’s relationship with America.

A Better Life? is a ten-part series about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on immigrants across the U.S.  Read more about the series here.
