It was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime \u2013 the ultimate motorcycle ride across Africa. Instead, it turned into almost 6 years of hell at the hands of al-Qaeda. Kidnapped, chained and constantly fearing for his life, Stephen McGown clung to the hope of being reunited with his family and was finally released in August. In his first in-depth television interview, he opens up to Carte Blanche about his terrifying ordeal.<\/p>\n

Carte Blanche explores these changing dynamics.<\/p>\n
