| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion, and welcome to the B.O.F. podcast. Today on the B.O.F. podcast, we go inside the global refugee crisis, speaking to Ahmed Khan, a financier and philanthropist who's been working in the refugee space for several years now. And Chin Chinyaap, who produced the film Human Flow alongside the renowned |
| 0:23.6 | Chinese artist I Wei Wei. I invited them to Voices 2017 to speak to us about the global |
| 0:30.2 | refugee crisis, and I'm happy to share this talk with you today. Voices is the most stimulating |
| 0:36.6 | gathering of fashion industry leaders on the planet. |
| 0:39.3 | What makes voices different is that we mix our industry with fascinating people from other sectors. |
| 0:45.3 | From the worlds of economics, activism, health and wellness, medicine, film, philanthropy, technology, media, and so many more. |
| 0:53.3 | Fashion doesn't live in a bubble and nor should |

| 1:27.8 | is because it is one of the greatest challenges facing our planet today. |
| 1:35.9 | And Ahmed, when you and I first spoke on the phone about a month or two ago, we exchanged |
| 1:42.1 | some stories and some learnings about, you know, the things that you've |
| 1:46.6 | observed, the things that you've experienced in this shift that you've made in your life. |
| 1:52.8 | And I just thought we could start with both of you, actually, just talking about the time |
| 1:58.1 | in Lesbos where I think has become one of the flash points of this crisis. |
| 2:03.6 | Tell us the story of how you first got into this field of work and how it's become this |
| 2:11.6 | kind of defining purpose for you now, Ahmed. |
| 2:14.6 | Sure. First of all, let me thank you for having us and for fashion being open to hearing about |
| 2:22.3 | this issue. We're sort of on a mission to expand the audiences that are aware of what's going |
