E1: 165 Days - Prisoner Of The Taliban - Asad Qureshi

Asad Qureshi, filmmaker and writer, works in dangerous places.

When he sets off to interview Taliban commanders, he finds himself on the wrong side of the camera with a gun to his head and a ten million dollar ransom. 165 Days - Prisoner of the Taliban is his compelling account of his captivity.

The emotional turmoil endured by those on the outside battling to save his life: his parents in failing health, a stoical brother facing down the terrorists.

This is a haunting story of fear, loss, hope and the strength of the human spirit.

The book offers unique behind-the-scenes insights into the workings of a notorious paramilitary network.

Above all, it provides a stark reminder of the privilege of freedom.
