It’s an unofficial "hostage week" in Washington DC, with activities being held to call attention to Americans wrongfully detained in foreign prisons. A driving force behind this week’s events is the James W. Foley Foundation, which fights to free the wrongfully detained and to protect journalists around the world. The foundation was launched by Diane Foley, mother of James, who was publicly and horrifically executed by ISIS nearly a decade ago. Christiane speaks with Diane Foley about channeling her grief into action.
