About the episode

In 2008, Australian photojournalist Nigel Brennan and Canadian journalist Amanda Lindhout were kidnapped in Somalia by an Islamist insurgent group while reporting on the country's refugee crisis. They endured 460 days in captivity before being released in November 2009. This episode recounts the harrowing ordeal of a determined photojournalist held hostage in Somalia and his courageous sister's relentless efforts to secure his freedom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
