The heartwarming TV show finding humour in racism, high school and 9/11

Kiwi comic Pax Assadi was 10-years-old when his life changed forever on 9/11. Now, he’s turned his real-life experiences into 'Raised By Refugees', a heartwarming and hilarious new TV show.

Pax joins The Drop to talk about growing up as a Middle Eastern kid in a white neighbourhood during the War on Terror, and what it's like writing a show about himself, his family and his sometimes very awkward life experiences.

The Drop is a weekly show tackling the latest in the world of pop culture and entertainment. Join host Osman Faruqi and the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age's team of culture writers and critics along with interviews with musicians, actors, film makers and everyone involved in the world of culture.
