Jim: The James Foley Story
Streaming video - 2016
On Thanksgiving Day 2012, American photojournalist James "Jim"Foley was kidnapped in Syria and went missing for two years before the infamous video of his public execution sent shockwaves and introduced much of the world to ISIS. Jim: The James Foley Story, by close childhood friend Brian Oakes, tells the story of his life through intimate interviews with his family, friends and fellow journalists – while fellow hostages reveal never-before-heard details of his captivity with a chilling immediacy that builds suspense. Made with unparalleled access, Jim: The James Foley Story is a harrowing chronicle of bravery, compassion and pain at the dawn of America’s war with ISIS. .."I made this film to carry on the stories that Jim... needed us to know,"says director Brian Oakes. "It’s important that we understand the significant role of today’s conflict journalists and why they risk their lives to tell the world how bad it can be."..The film will include the original song The Empty Chair, by Academy Award-nominated artists J. Ralph and Sting.
