This special episode was aired on In the Mix (PBS) in June 2003. It features a videoconference meeting between teens in Baghdad and their peers in Bloomfield, Connecticut, shortly before the U.S. invaded Iraq in March 2003. During this live face-to-face interaction, the students discussed their similarities and differences, giving the U.S. teens insight into the Iraqi teens’ culture and daily lives at home and in school. The teens talk honestly about this experience and how it dispelled stereotypes on both sides, as well as what it's like to be a teen in the present day and their hopes for the future.
