Alsu Kurmasheva on life back home after release from Russia

Season 2024 Episode 241 | 9m 41s

A prisoner swap with Russia brought three Americans home earlier this month. Among them was Russian American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, who was sentenced to six and a half years after the Russian government accused her of "spreading falsehoods" about the army. Kurmasheva and her husband, Pavel Butorin, joined Geoff Bennett to discuss her experience and how she's adjusting to life back home.
