“Our youngest child’s screaming can get me and I just need time to literally just be able to sit down and do nothing, just blankness," Noureddin Bongo says, explaining the PTSD he still suffers after months of torture while imprisoned in Gabon. The only reason he was finally released, was after a film-worthy plan was hatched, in which a pair of spy glasses were smuggled into the prison.
“I asked for normal glasses, then I did a switch,” says Noureddin, recalling how he began to record his captors while held in detention in Gabon. “I would wear them every day, even if I'm not recording, just for them to just always see me.”
