Because Aimen is still away, we’re taking this opportunity to introduce you all to our executive producer Jake Warren. A journalist and programme-maker, Jake not only had the idea for Conflicted, he is also the founder of Message Heard, the company that produces the show.
Jake and Thomas discuss:
Conflicted’s origin story
Jake’s Hungarian-Jewish grandfather who escaped on the Kindertransport
His early work for Vice Media in North Korea, Rwanda, and Lebanon
How he won the trust of notorious Islamist preacher and organiser Anjem Choudary while covering his story
Visiting the family of murdered soldier Lee Rigby
How Jake first came across Aimen’s story
How Thomas and Aimen became friends
