Four young men arrive in South Africa from their native Zimbabwe and find each other through their love of–and professional dedication to–wine.  Tinashe the big picture philosopher; Pardon the competitive jokester; Marlvin, pious and warm; and Joseph, the stalwart leader of Team Zimbabwe--all will overcome the obstacles facing them as refugees to arrive at the World Championship of Wine Tasting in France.

Directors Rob Coe and Warwick Ross join Mike to discuss their film “Blind Ambition”.  They talk about everything from the socio-political challenges of Southern Africa to how they sought to show (not tell) what it means to determine the varietal, country, region, even producer of a wine “blind”, by sight, smell, and taste alone.
