    Americans held hostage

    It’s an unofficial "hostage week" in Washington DC, with activities being held to call attention to Americans wrongfully detained in foreign prisons. A driving force behind this week’s events is the James W. Foley Foundation, which fights to free the wrongfully detained and to protect journalists around the world. The foundation was launched by Diane Foley, mother of James, who was publicly and horrifically executed by ISIS nearly a decade ago. Christiane speaks with Diane Foley about channeling her grief into action.  Also on today's show: Actors Laura Linney & Jessica Hecht; US Senate Independent Angus King  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
