A US woman who escaped an abusive arranged marriage now helps others do the same

A US woman who escaped an abusive arranged marriage now helps others do the same.

We meet Fraidy Reiss, a New York woman who escaped from an abusive arranged marriage and is now helping others do the same thing. Then, we head to Texas for Ramadan Open House night, an event where local Muslims educate their neighbours about Islam. And we visit Americana, the Brazilian community that proudly waves the Confederate flag.
 
Plus, the author Cyrus Copeland delves into Iranian allegations that his  father was a CIA spy. And. chef Jehangir Mehta tells us all about Graffiti.
