Episode Synopsis

Peter Moore was kidnapped in Iraq in 2007 while working as an IT consultant. He was held hostage for 2 years 7 months and 1 day, during which he was subjected to beatings and mock executions. His security protection - four British ex-soldiers with whom he was kidnapped and held captive - were all murdered. He tells us his extraordinary story, and his inspiring approach to getting on with life since his release. We also hear of Bailles' personal connection to hostages in Iraq, his own father being forced into hiding during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qais_Khazalihttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/mar/12/peter-moore-recounts-iraq-captivity Hosted on Acast.
