One year after his release from a Russian prison, Paul Whelan shares the challenges he faces as he attempts to rebuild his life. With his home and cars gone, Whelan highlights the difficulties of returning to normalcy after wrongful imprisonment. During an interview, he emphasizes that he was not a spy and recounts his experiences in captivity. As a way to help others, Whelan expresses a desire to improve care for Americans who have been wrongfully detained abroad.
