Description

Matt Schrier is an American photographer who survived seven months as an Al-Qaeda captive in Syria before escaping, and the author of The Dawn Prayer: A Memoir.
What We Discuss with Matt Schrier:

How Matt Schrier was captured by Al-Qaeda just 45 minutes away from the border on his way out of Syria in 2012.
How making his captors laugh on day one of his captivity got him special treatment from a usually unforgiving crowd.
What Matt did to survive and plan an escape in spite of an unhelpful, self-sabotaging cellmate.
Why Matthew feels betrayed by the FBI and the US government for putting intelligence gathering over the safety of Americans imprisoned by terrorists.
Why, even after becoming the first American to escape from Al-Qaeda and his feelings of betrayal from his own government, he has no regrets about going to Syria in the first place.
And much more...
