In this 17-minute video from Socrates in the City, Eric Metaxas talks to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a prominent author and former member of the Dutch Parliament recognized for her work on women’s issues and civil liberties. She shares her extraordinary personal journey.

In this compelling talk, she reflects on faith, freedom, and the search for meaning.
