Fresh Air: Ben Affleck & Dustin Hoffman
0 Comments
Ben Affleck is interviewed by Fresh Air's host Terry Gross. The movie has won awards at the Golden Globes. "The film, which Affleck produced and in which he also stars, is the mostly true story of the CIA operative who helmed the rescue of six U.S. diplomats who managed to escape at the outset of the 1979 Iran crisis that held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days after militants took over the American Embassy in Tehran. Affleck, a Middle Eastern studies major in college, was a child when the crisis happened and does not remember the news coverage."
