In this episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris Collins welcomes Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine—actor, playwright, documentary filmmaker, photographer, and now, first-time author. You may know Ntare from his powerful roles in acclaimed series like The Chi, The Lincoln Lawyer, Heroes, and Treme, as well as films like Blood Diamond and Farewell Amor. But beyond the screen, Ntare is a storyteller deeply influenced by literature and personal truth.
He joins Chris to talk about the book that changed his life: An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth by Mohandas Gandhi. In a thoughtful and deeply personal conversation, Ntare reflects on how Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence and self-inquiry shaped his worldview and creative path. From his Ugandan heritage to his multidisciplinary work in film and photography, Ntare reveals how this seminal text continues to guide his journey—especially now, as he writes his first book.
Tune in for a rich exploration of how truth, activism, and the written word can shape a life—and a career.
