Fleeing Isis to Colombia by mistake
Malak Hadi and her family wanted to escape Isis and start a new life in America but ended up in Colombia by accident.
Her father paid $75,000 to take his family by boat from Iraq to the USA.
It took more than a month and when they arrived they were told they were actually in Colombia.
Malak told BBC Minute: "It was really hard for us in the beginning. But now I love my new life."
