The Hostage’s Story on SBS and SBS on Demand – With exclusive access to Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe and Richard Ratcliffe, as well as other former hostages, Anoosheh Ashoori, Kylie Moore-Gilbert, Jason Rezaian The Hostages’ Story offers a rare, inside look at the toll of being used as leverage in political negotiations between states.
In the aftermath of their releases, the film explores the slow, painful process of rebuilding lives while also asking urgent questions: what does justice look like for victims of state hostage-taking, and how can future cases be prevented?
The film lays bare how authoritarian regimes are increasingly using foreign nationals as geopolitical bargaining chips.
Through the lens of Nazanin’s six-year imprisonment in Iran, it examines the wider pattern of wrongful detention, the international failure to prevent it, and the hidden costs to families, diplomacy, and justice.
