WHY WE ARE HERE

This is the third in a series of video interviews with Cowami and Akossiwa Djagli. The couple, originally from Togo, West Africa, tells their story about why they left their homeland to come to Minnesota, and what life is like now for them and their children.

In Part 1, Cowami and Akossiaw Djagli talked about winning an immigration lottery in 2001 and moving to Minnesota, and in Part 2, they talked about what they learned on their visit back to their home country of Togo last year.

In today’s final installment, they talk about a movie they are making with their friends. They hope that sales of the movie will enable them to raise money to help improve conditions for their friends and families in Togo.
