It's not often you see a Middle Eastern woman cast as the LEAD in a Hollywood production! So when I came across "Little Birds" star Yumna Marwan, I HAD to have her on the podcast! We talk about everything from her family's reaction to her playing a dominatrix (!!) to her wild teenage years and the extreme lack of representation of Middle Eastern women on screen. At one point in the interview she says, "I would just like to be cast as a yoga teacher so I could have fun as an actress and not always have to feel that I am representing an entire quarter of the globe." Whew. Yep. Powerful stuff.
