Meet Zain Younus—Pakistani refugee and dedicated Michael Jackson fan. In this touching story from Joshua Seftel of Smartypants, watch Zain transform into a «new American boy» as he performs his idol’s dance moves in the school talent show.

Due to escalating violence in his home country, Zain was granted asylum in the United States and has settled in New York City with his family. Eager to adjust to life in America, the 13-year-old and his siblings are attending a “refugee summer camp” that will help them improve their English language skills.
