A true account that lingers in your head

This is a documentary that lingered in my head for awhile...so much so, that I want to watch it again with my wife. Not wanting to spoil anything, the story does not detail so much of the gory side of this story, but it concentrates more on what seemed to go on in his head through those closest to him. James Foley was a rare breed as far as journalists go... he did not let danger get in the way of his reporting, but at the same time, he did not have a death wish. Once he was captured the world got to know who James Foley was, how he did what he did and what a good natured person he was. Do yourself a favor and watch this... I am fairly sure it will linger in your mind... in a good way.
