On this episode of Breaking the Narrative, we are joined by Dr. Alan Bostakian, an Iranian expat, change leader, and certified human rights consultant. With a background in human rights advocacy and as the founder of a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting human rights victims, Dr. Bostakian has tirelessly championed the Iranian community, an effort made even more urgent by the current unrest in the region.

As a massive uprising unfolds in Iran, met with brutal massacres by the Islamic Republic, Dr. Bostakian and Jesse discuss the dire situation on the ground and what the international community can do to help. Dr. Bostakian shares his thoughts on whether the United States should intervene, how deeply the Iranian people desire change, and what it means for so many to be losing their lives in the pursuit of freedom.
