Sean Langan is an award-winning British war journalist and documentary filmmaker, best known for his work in dangerous and volatile environments. In 2008, he was kidnapped by the Taliban for 3 months when making a film about their training camps. In this interview, we dive deep into his kidnapping, and other projects including ‘The Hostage Takers’ where he goes to Syria to sit down with 2 ISIS members that held captive and beheaded his good friend James Foley. This interview is incredibly intense, hilarious, and heavy. Enjoy.
