Nearly 41 years to the day Senator John McCain was captured in Hanoi, a French National Radio and Television Archive Company is releasing video of a French reporter interviewing the then 31-year-old prisoner of war.
 
According to the company’s website the video, which runs just over four minutes, will only be available through October 26th.
 
The French reporter’s widow tells the Associated Press this is the longest video clip to be officially released since the story first aired more than four decades ago.
