Hostage: The Bachar Tapes
NEW DOCS
Souheil Bachar was kidnapped in Beirut in 1983. He was held in solitary confinement for ten years—except for 27 weeks in 1985, where he was held in the same room with Americans Terry Anderson, Thomas Sutherland, Benjamin Weir, Martin Jenco and David Jacobsen. They each wrote books, but Bachar has made 53 videotapes. Of those, these are the two, packaged together, that he wants Americans to see. RR
