Terror On The Line | CIA

It's 2007, and Iraq is in a state of chaos. Factions of armed insurgents clash with Coalition forces, and the USA is looking for an exit strategy. 32 year-old Egyptian-American CIA officer Joseph Assad is a new face in Baghdad's Green Zone. He's got an idea that could help to end the slaughter - one so crazy, it just might work.
Daisy Ridley joins Joseph as he tells his story publicly for the very first time in a True Spies exclusive.
