Episode 45: Jane Macedo Yang & Jennifer Macedo Yang
Podcast Art for Episode 45 Jane Macedo Yang & Jennifer Macedo Yang
I talk with Jane Macedo Yang and Jennifer Macedo Yang, the dynamic sister duo behind the documentary film PARASTOO.
The documentary represents a seven year journey following a young Afghan girl "through the growing pains of young adulthood, the heartbreaking refugee resettlement process, and her dreams of becoming an actress."
In this conversation, we talk about their amazing story of getting into filmmaking; the wild background of a seven year journey that touches upon so many modern events in Malaysia, Afghanistan, and elsewhere; their thoughts on the documentary film market; and what's next for these two powerful women.
I'm so touched by their story, and I think you will be too after listening to this episode.
