What can facing death and danger teach us about humanity and the world we live in, and what wisdom can be learned from working in war zones? In every episode, foreign correspondent Ramita Navai, renowned for her investigations and for telling the ‘story behind the story’, talks to a fellow war reporter about the life-changing moment they faced death. As guests recount extraordinary stories of kidnap and danger - many never told before - they explore what the experience taught them about themselves and the world, and how it's changed their perspectives on life.Subscribe for latest episodes and please rate and review.Ramita Links:Twitter: @ramitanavaiInstagram: @senoritaramitaWebsite: http://www.ramitanavai.com/Aurra Studios:@AurraStudios on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTubeShow notes and transcripts: - https://aurrastudios.com/the-line-of-fire/ - Watch Ramita’s latest documentary No Country for Women on ITV HubPresented by Ramita NavaiExecutive Producers Richard Osman and Matt RazProduced and edited by Chris Scott (@ctscott_)

Sam Kiley : It wasn’t a question of talking your way out of it, it was all over, it was just waiting for the bullet

CNN’s Senior International Correspondent Sam Kiley survived an attempted execution in Iraq in 2003 when he and his team were kidnapped while reporting on the US invasion.

Sam joins Ramita this week as one of Britain's most experienced and prolific war reporters - he has covered nearly every conflict in the world since 1991. In fact, it's easier to name the wars he hasn't covered than the ones he has. He's also the only journalist who's completed a full combat tour with NATO in Afghanistan, spending six months in Helmand in 2008.

Sam talks about how he started in journalism with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, how he learned to cover war in Somalia and surviving being shot in Lesotho. He also discusses reporting on the horrors of the Rwandan genocide, and why it is the conflict that has most affected him.

Show Notes:

Sam’s book Desperate Glory: At War in Helmand with Britain's 16 Air Assault
