British journalist Sean Langan has made his name by travelling to many of the world's trouble-spots armed with just a camera.
In 1997 he travelled to Kashmir to investigate the disappearance of four hostages, which resulted in Nightmare in Paradise. and has first-hand experience of filming with Islamic extremists fighting in the name of Jihad.
With his BBC series Langan Behind the Lines he journeyed extensively in the Middle East to investigate the Taliban, Iraq and Gaza, while Langan in Latin America examined the impact of globalisation.
In 2004, after George W Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq, he set out to discover the truth of the president's statement.
In 2006 he investigated the new freedoms for women in Afghanistan - walking in public without a male relative, working, voting and getting a driving licence - Afghan Ladies Driving School.
And most recently, he's been back in Afghanistan shooting a film that will give an in-depth look at what's going on at the frontline of the War on Terror - and finds that the war being waged there is very, very real.
