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 8-part series, The Times’ war correspondent Anthony Loyd sets out to investigate the life - and fate - of the missing hostage. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
