In 2010, then-Boston resident Ray Williams had a dream: to produce a travel show. So despite the fact that he had no film experience, he enlisted his friend Mark Kelley as a cameraman, used money saved up from various jobs, and “Hostile Living” was born.

Their film “Hostile Living Vietnam: The Bourdain Experiment” won “Best Experimental Film” at the Manhattan Film Festival. Williams and Kelley join Here & Now's Robin Young to talk about “Hostile Living.”
