That's exactly what happened to award-winning Australian journalist Peter Greste, who was arrested in Egypt on terrorism charges and spent 400 days behind bars. Now his extraordinary experience comes to the big screen in The Correspondent, starring Richard Roxburgh, opening in select U.S. theaters November 6. Peter joins Adam Montiel on Up+Adam for a fascinating, deeply human conversation about watching an actor recreate the night his life changed, the surreal reality of an Egyptian courtroom, and the remarkable ways he kept being a journalist while imprisoned, including writing on toilet paper with a smuggled pen and conducting interviews by shouting down prison corridors. He opens up about the complicated guilt of being released while his colleagues remained behind bars, grieving the career he could no longer return to, and discovering that freedom sometimes means nothing more than sunshine on your face or sand between your toes. And in a particularly powerful moment, Peter explains why local journalism is the glue that holds communities together, and what we all stand to lose when reporters are silenced. It's a conversation about courage, identity, the power of human connection, and why the freedom to ask questions matters to every one of us. PLUS, A LITTLE LOVE FROM WOODS HUMANE SOCIETY! Robin Coleman joins Adam for our Pet of the Week spotlight, introducing another furry friend looking for a forever home.
