Hostage

In January 1987 Terry Waite was taken hostage in Beirut. During the 1,763 days of his captivity, rumour and speculation mounted over the events leading up to his kidnapping, in particular the extent of his association with Oliver North , the American colonel at the centre of the arms-for-hostages deals. Was Waite naive or headstrong in returning to Beirut? What were his motives at the time? Did he have the right sort of personality to negotiate successfully with the kidnappers?
In this exclusive film Waite faces up to these issues, he describes the deprivation and tortures of nearly four years of solitary captivity, reveals the tensions of life with the other hostages and explains how the legacy of those years is a haunting sense of vulnerability.
