I was ambling through Albuquerque airport after finding out my flight had been pushed back four hours when I heard the following announcement over the loudspeakers: “Will an Arabic speaker please head over to Gate A-4 immediately?” Recent events have given us plenty of reason to hesitate, but it was my gate anyway, so I went.
A powerful story of compassion and kindness, Gate A-4 explores deeply philosophical issues about the necessity of everyday generosity in a divided world riddled with suspicion.
