Haseeb Satarzay

Haseeb Satarzai is a man of two worlds: Afghanistan, the country of his birth, and the United Kingdom, the nation he adopted and learned to love. Haseeb is also a man who escaped oppression, found his dream profession, and then paid it all forward by returning to Afghanistan as an interpreter with the U.S. Marines from 2009-2010. He came to the United Kingdom as a refugee in his teens. He enjoyed a privileged childhood until the Russians invaded Afghanistan. As a young adult he supported the resistance and when he and his remaining family saw the opportunity they fled to Pakistan and then eventually to the United Kingdom. He moved to London with dreams of an acting career.
