Jim: The James Foley Story

Audience Award Winner: US Documentary, Sundance Film Festival

On Thanksgiving Day 2012, American photojournalist James Foley was kidnapped in Syria and went missing for two years before the infamous video of his public execution sent shockwaves throughout the world. From Executive Producer Peter Kunhardt and directed by Foley’s close childhood friend Brian Oakes, Jim tells the story of Foley’s life through intimate interviews, including fellow hostages who reveal never-before-heard details of his captivity. Jim is a harrowing chronicle of bravery, compassion, and pain at the dawn of America’s war with ISIS.

This film is part of the Global Watch 2018: Crisis & Social Action series.
