Watch: James Foley's 2011 Interview at Northwestern

In this video, courtesy Northwestern University, James Foley speaks at Northwestern University in June 2011 after being freed from 44 days of captivity during the civil war in Libya. “The honest fact is when you see something really violent, it does a strange thing to you,” Foley told Medill lecturer Timothy McNulty. “It doesn’t always repel you, sometimes, as you know, it draws you closer. Feeling like you’ve survived something – it’s a strange sort of force that you are drawn back to. I think that’s the absolute reality.”
