166. An Interview with An #IronFamily - ft. Jazmine & Chad Faries + Patrick Longstreth

Jazmine Faries is a woman with Down syndrome who is the focus of Iron Family, a documentary directed and produced by Patrick Longstreth. Today on the podcast, we have Jazmine herself, along with her brother Chad, and the film director, Patrick! For the last seven summers, Jazmine has written extraordinary plays based on her celebrity alter-ego that her family performs each year. Iron Family documents the process of making one of Jazmine’s newest plays: Double Life, which of course features Matthew Mcconaughey (her fave celebrity!) as a main character. Not only are we chatting about the film, we’re opening up about complicated family dynamics, the search for independence, and even Jazmine’s desire to have children (warning - tears are shed). We hope you enjoy this very honest conversation with these wonderful guests.
