Tornado Down - The John Peters and John Nichol Story

Operation Desert Storm was only a day old when Tornado crew John Peters and John Nichol were shot down in Iraqi territory and subsequently tortured and paraded on TV. Bruised and battered, the two men mumbled incoherently into the camera and instantly became symbols around the world of Saddam’s savagery and aggression. In Tornado Down the crew discuss their experience, and in a series of moving and candid interviews reveal the physical and psychological torment they suffered at the hands of their captors. The brutal torture sessions, the elation of their release and their determination not to crack in the face of such cruelty and humiliation. Content licensed from Digital Rights Group (DRG).
