Episode On the trail | Last Man Standing Ep 1
Anthony Loyd begins his investigation into the disappearance of journalist John Cantlie, who was taken by Isis in 2012. He explores the events of a prior kidnap and asks: what compelled John to return to Syria after his first escape?
In 2012, British photojournalist John Cantlie was kidnapped in Syria by Islamic State. While his fellow hostages were released or murdered, he remained captive. Then, a series of Isis propaganda videos emerged, fronted by Cantlie. He hasn’t been seen since. In this new series, the Times’ war correspondent Anthony Loyd sets out to investigate the life - and fate - of the missing hostage.
