SUMMARY:Please join us for the launch of The Shattered Lens with author Jonathan Alpeyrie
DESCRIPTION:Discover a gripping and harrowing tale of war and torture from the man who lived it in this powerful memoir by the celebrated war journalist who not only documented over a dozen conflict zones worldwide but was also captured and held hostage by Syrian rebels in 2013.\nCapturing history was Jonathan Alpeyrie’s job but he never expected to become a news story himself. For a decade\, the French‑American photojournalist had weaved in and out of over a dozen conflict zones. He photographed civilians being chased out of their homes\, military trucks roving over bullet‑torn battlefields\, and too many bodies to count. But on April 29\, 2013\, during his third assignment to Syria\, Alpeyrie was betrayed by his fixer and handed over to a band of Syrian rebels.\nFor eighty‑one days he was bound\, blindfolded\, and beaten. Not too far away\, President Bashar al‑Assad’s forces and those in opposition continued their bitter and bloody civil war. Over the course of his captivity\, Alpeyrie kept his spirits up and strived to see\, without his camera lenses\, the humanity in his captors. He took part in their activities\, taught them how to swim\, prayed with them\, and tried learning their language and culture. He also discovered a dormant faith within himself\, one that strengthened him throughout the ordeal. \nJonathan Alpeyrie will be in conversation with co-author Stash Luczkiw
