Annotated Anniversary Edition of his Journey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Back Fahim Fazli is a man of two worlds: Afghanistan, the country of his birth, and America, the nation he adopted and learned to love. He's also a man who fled oppression and escaped to the United States where he broke through all challenges to become the first Afghan American Hollywood actor. He then paid it all forward by returning to Afghanistan as an interpreter with the U.S. Marines. When Fahim speaks, the story he tells is a stirring ode to courage, compassion, and the unbreakable bonds of love and duty. From the rugged landscapes of his war-torn homeland to the sun-drenched shores of California, Fahim's story is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming. His experiences on Afghanistan's battlefields, bridging cultures and defying danger, showcase his unwavering commitment to service and love for his adopted country, America. Fahim Speaks is a testament to the power of faith, courage, and the pursuit of a dream. "When Fahim Fazli speaks, we are fascinated." -Tom Hanks, CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR
