This week on Two Guys from Hollywood, we’re talking about pushing boundaries. These boundaries might mean the measurements of your pants after you’ve eaten incredible Italian food for a week, or, the way creators, innovators and artists bring their projects to life. From Anthony Bourdain to *someone’s* waistline, we’re covering it all. Joining the conversation is the one and only Sonia Nassery Cole. Sonia is an extremely talented filmmaker, philanthropist, author and human rights activist – not to mention a great friend. Sonia knows everything about pushing boundaries as she was granted political asylum in the United States from Afghanistan as a teenager, and went on to work with President Ronald Regan to aid in the defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Yes, you read that correctly. If the President of the most powerful nation in the world looks you dead in the eye and asks: “One person has the power to change the world. Do you want to be that person?,” what would you do? Tune in to hear her incredible story, how she made her first feature film THE BLACK TULIP (which was selected as Afghanistan’s official selection for the Academy Awards!) and learn not just about the history of the tumultuous relationship between the US and her home country, but all about her new film set to release this month, I AM YOU. Sonia is a fascinating, talented, brilliant and generous woman who’s humanitarian work, films, and legacy will be remembered for a long time to come. Listen to the episode now to hear the full story. As always, we have a guest-inspired cocktail of the week! This week enjoy the ONCE BITTEN, TWICE CHAI.
