       Danish photographer Daniel Rye (Smed) photographs civilians in war zones. In Syria he’s captured by ISIS, tortured, and imprisoned. His family try desperately to raise the money for ransom.

       True story.

       It’s a compelling film, painful to watch. It’s not for the faint-hearted. Don’t see it when you’re depressed. But see it.
