In 2012, American journalist Theo Padnos was kidnapped by an Al-Qaeda faction in Syria while reporting on the civil war. For 22 months, he was brutally tortured during interrogation sessions, suspected of working for the CIA due to his fluency in Arabic. However, his captors soon realized that he was not a spy, but a man who had created a rich, imaginative world to escape the horrors of his captivity. Through his extraordinary ability to connect with his captors and the fantastical world he created, Theo Padnos survived the unimaginable. THEO WHO LIVED is a gripping documentary that retraces his physical and emotional journey, revealing the power of resilience and grace in the face of hate.
