"Hollywoodgate" with Ibrahim Nash’at & Shane Boris
Manage episode 428007623 series 2978062
When the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021, effectively ending America’s longest war, that seemed like the end of the story for most journalists. But for director Ibrahim Nash’at, the story that he wanted to tell was just beginning. In his haunting new documentary “Hollywoodgate”, Nash’at does what virtually no other journalist or filmmaker has dared to do: tag along with the victorious Taliban military as it goes about reasserting itself over every aspect of Afghan society.
Ibrahim and producer Shane Boris (“Navalny”, “Fire of Love”) join Ken on the podcast to discuss the immense challenges and ever present dangers that Ibrahim faced during production. What drew Ibrahim to this story initially and what convinced Shane to join him as one of the producers? How did Ibrahim come to focus on two main figures in the film, and how did they complete “two sides of the story”? And how did seeing the word “Hollywoodgate” written on the entrance to an abandoned U.S. base in Kabul provide a moment of clarity for Ibrahim — and, ultimately, lead to the making of this extraordinary and unforgettable film?
