Sarah Anthony is a dear friend and an award winning documentary producer. She produced the Netflix film Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator. She was the lead Producer on the Grammy-winning HBO documentary series, The Defiant Ones, and on The Price of Free (formerly titled Kailash), a documentary about child slavery which won the 2018 Sundance Festival Grand Jury Prize. Sarah began her documentary career in London, with films on subjects ranging from the Iraq war to the Ming Voyages of the 1400’s. She was Associate Producer for PBS FRONTLINE on The Age of AIDS, a four hour series covering the history of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In 2007 Sarah moved to Los Angeles and joined Exclusive Media as the Co-head of Documentary Features. Public art, music and social reform make her heart sing. At Exclusive she supervised development, production and distribution on multiple documentaries including Martin Scorsese’s George Harrison: Living in the Material World, Billy Joel’s Last Play at Shea, and the Academy Award-winning Undefeated. Sarah has worked extensively with director Davis Guggenheim and the Emerson Collective on a variety of social justice issues, from immigration reform to re-designing the American high school system. This week, we discuss how she manages being on the front lines of telling stories that impact change, our mutual love for budgeting, and how George Harrison helped her become a better human.⁣ Can’t wait to hear what you think of this week’s episode!
