About this episode
Anthony investigates details of John Cantlie and his colleague James Foley’s abduction in 2012. He speaks to those who were with them and explores possible reasons the men were targeted.
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.
