TEDxByronBay 2013 - Nigel Brennan

In 2008, Australian photojournalist Nigel Brennan travelled to Somalia to report on 20 years of conflict, food insecurity and drought. On his way to a camp for 50,000 internally displaced people, Nigel and four others were kidnapped and held prisoner for 462 days. He is the longest-held captive Australian outside of a POW situation. Nigel's experience is testament to the strength of the human spirit and the unyielding love of a family.
