Jim: The James Foley Story

Watch Trailer
2016 · 111 min Documentary
7.4 / 10 · TMDB

In August, 2014, a video of the public execution of American photojournalist James Foley rippled across the globe. Foley wore an orange jumpsuit as he knelt beside an ISIS militant dressed in black. That image challenged the world to deal with a new face of terror. And it tested one American family. Seen through the lens of filmmaker Brian Oakes, Foley’s close childhood friend, Jim takes us from small-town New England to the adrenaline-fueled front lines of Libya and Syria, where Foley pushed the limits of danger to report on the plight of civilians impacted by war.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Jim: The James Foley Story is a solid entry rated 7.4/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

Released in 2016, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
