When your motherland cries | Gjon Juncaj | TEDxTirana

An Albanian American proud of his heritage discovers his motherland is beautiful, rich in history and hospitality, but beneath the surface systemic corruption has captured opportunity and justice from too many. For over 100 years Albanians have raised a flag, now they must unite to raise a country.
