A Documentary About the 'American Taliban,' AKA John Walker Lindh

A new documentary tackles the complex and oft-misunderstood story of John Walker Lindh, commonly known as the American Taliban, who was released from prison in 2019 after serving seventeen years of a 20-year sentence for providing support to the Taliban. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Director Greg Barker, who has spent many years chronicling the conflicts in the Middle East, joins us to discuss his latest film, “Detainee 001,” which premieres on September 10 on Showtime.
