British documentary filmmaker Asad Qureshi works in the world's
most dangerous places. When he set off to film secret interviews
with Taliban commanders, the award-winning filmmaker found himself
on the wrong end of the camera lens, with a gun at his temple and a
price of 10 million US dollars on his head. Asad would spend 165
days in captivity before his family was able to pay his ransom and
secure his release. The negotiations and eventual release were
coordinated by Al Qaeda intermediaries. Throughout his time as a
hostage, Qureshi was tortured and humiliated, as were his fellow
prisoners, several of whom would not return. This is a true,
first-person account of Taliban captivity in Waziristan, the
dangerous border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Above
all, it provides a stark reminder of the privilege of freedom.
