PREMIERE: A Refugee’s Warning - Dr. Sheila Nazarian on Escaping Iran, The Red-Green Alliance & America’s Future
In this episode of Keeping it Real with Jiillian Michaels, they sit down with world-renowned plastic surgeon and human rights activist Dr. Sheila Nazarian.
Before the success and the Beverly Hills practice, she was a six-year-old Jewish refugee fleeing the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
Dr. Nazarian shares the terrifying reality of her family's escape - smuggled through the desert in the back of a truck under burlap sacks, taking fire from Iranian border police just to survive.
They pull back the curtain on the "Red-Green Alliance" - the historic and deadly partnership between communists and Islamists that overthrew the Shah - and why Dr. Nazarian sees that exact same playbook unfolding on American college campuses today.
From dissecting the hypocrisy of modern political movements to the reality of the current uprisings in Iran, this is an unfiltered look at what it actually takes to protect freedom.
