"It took only one picture -- the picture of that little boy on the beach -- to move us to be human," says Tima Kurdi, whose nephew Alan Kurdi's death in 2015 made global headlines and drew attention to the plight of refugees. In this moving talk, Kurdi argues that it shouldn't take extreme tragedies to jar the world out of its complacency regarding the refugee crisis, and makes an impassioned plea for more people to speak up and raise awareness.
