Yesterday at work we were watching TV when this interview came up on CNN with this guy named Gregory David Roberts, author of a book called Shantaram--a book I can not wait to read!
This guy's life story is crazy! He was divorced, lost his daughter in a custody battle, turned to heroin, committed armed robbery to pay for his heroin, arrested, escaped from maximum security, helped by motorcycle gang, BLF Union, & revolutionaries to escape to New Zealand......and that's just the beginning! At one point he works for a mafia, fights Russian and Afgan troops in the mountains, forges passports, starts a band, worked on bollywood films, gets arrested a few more times only to escape each time, wrote this book and sold the rights to Johnny Depp!
His interview was soo intriguing I'm really looking forward to his book....and the movie! Click here to go to his website.
