How Nigel Brennan Survived 15 Months in Captivity – Part 1 Head Game

Nigel Brennan has one phenomenal story. He was working as a Photojournalist when an opportunity came up to visit Somalia to cover the humanitarian crisis. It was supposed to be a seven day visit. But instead, he and colleague Amanda Lindhout spent 15 hellish months in captivity. 
He bravely opens up to Ant about how this nightmare unfolded, and how he survived to tell the tale today.
