Jim: The James Foley Story is a 2016 American documentary film about the life of journalist and war correspondent James "Jim" Foley directed by Brian Oakes.[1] It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2016 and on HBO on February 6, 2016.

Synopsis

Directed by Foley's childhood friend Brian Oakes, the film chronicles the life of American photojournalist James "Jim" Foley. On Thanksgiving Day 2012, Foley was kidnapped in Syria while reporting on the Syrian Civil War and went missing for two years. The infamous video of his beheading in August 2014, purportedly as a response to American airstrikes in Iraq, introduced much of the world to the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS). Interviews with family, friends, journalist colleagues, and fellow hostages provide insight into Foley's character, work, captivity and legacy.

Music

The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for the song "The Empty Chair", written by J. Ralph and Sting and performed by Sting.[3]
