But my kids are so good about it as well.

They're like, Dad, you know, you're unhappy not making your documentaries.

And they're now young men who understand they've got their interests in life and they would want to go off and do it.

fulfill their dreams.

And so I took limited risks, I thought, in that situation in Ukraine.

And it's funny because I absolutely loved, and that's where it's danger, red flag,

when i was back in ukraine not back in ukraine in ukraine for the first time absolutely loved the experience whilst also being aware of how the tragedy and the suffering but just being there living life seeing that thing is a privilege you know firsthand the people going through it but trying to tell a story yeah i felt cured of my ptsd

I only once went to Syria.

I went back to the Middle East after I kidnapped 10 years to interview two ISIS terrorists who kidnapped and beheaded my friend, Jim Foley.

And I hadn't been back to the Middle East since my own kidnap.

I mean, Afghanistan is not the Middle East, but dealing with the same Islamic terrorist scenario.

And when I crossed from Iraq into Syria, I threw up.

like pre-match nerves when you're an athlete before a big or football player before a big game i threw up and this producer looks at me like oh and actually when i got into syria i was like really jacked up again and i that's where i realized something like that's bad that was me throwing up from adrenaline and i quite like this for you yeah you know it's a different situation and that put me off doing the kind of stuff i've been doing you know sitting down with my friends killers

was a very difficult, but that was part of my process of closing that chapter.

They, when I shook their hands, what was interesting, I was told, don't mention your friend of James Foley, but I couldn't help myself.

And I told them,

First thing I said, I was shaking hands.

I said, you know, I might as well tell you this.

Your good friend, Jihadi John Mohammed Mwazi, killed my good friend, cut his head off, James Foley.

Bizarrely, knowing that I'd been kidnapped, I knew the guy, I was a friend, but I'd been in war zones.
