650 days in Myanmar jail: Aussie Sean Turnell's survival story

For 650 days Sean Turnell was held in Myanmar’s terrifying Insein Prison on the trumped-up charge of being a spy. In An Unlikely Prisoner he recounts how an impossibly cheerful professor of economics ended up in one of the most notorious prisons in South-East Asia. Tom Tilley sits down with Sean to unpack how he survived.
