About this listen

In 2012, British photojournalist John Cantlie was kidnapped in Syria by Islamic State. While his fellow hostages were released or murdered, he remained captive. Then, a series of Isis propaganda videos emerged, fronted by Cantlie. He hasn’t been seen since. In this new series, the Times’ war correspondent Anthony Loyd sets out to investigate the life - and fate - of the missing hostage.

I appreciated the quality of the journalism and the presentation. This was a quest not just to find out what happened to John Cantlie but to understand him and pay tribute where it is due. I now understand far more about the Isis hostage situation and the tragic ironies of John’s impossible situation.
