Colorado State University English and journalism student Ali Niaz has made a film about the pressure on South Asian kids to become doctors and engineers. He had to convince his own parents that a career in the humanities has value. Niaz met Ryan Warner in the CSU podcast studio to discuss his award-winning documentary, "The Rocket Scientist Versus The Journalist: A Battle Within Culture."
