Renowned television journalist Lindsey Hilsum was in Libya when dictator Muamar Gadaffi met his end at the hands of his own people in 2011. She tells the story of Gadaffi’s bizarre regime from its early days of popular appeal to the paranoia and corruption that characterised its final years. Hilsum, a Royal Television Society Journalist of the Year, follows the stories of five Libyan people, and through them she shows how the Libyan people overcame their fear and rebelled against the regime.

Hilsum is Channel 4 news international editor. She was in Belgrade when NATO bombed Serbia, in Baghdad during the 2003 US invasion and was Channel 4 News China correspondent between 2006 and 2008.
