Facing imminent parole, convicted Bali bombmaker Umar Patek records an extraordinary on-camera interview from an Indonesian jail about his involvement in the 2002 nightclub bombings.
He spent years working with terrorist groups in the Philippines, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and only returned to Indonesia some time before the Bali attacks to introduce his Filipina wife to his family in Java.
"He's saying all of this in a high-security jail. It's a lot different when you're going out and about mixing with all the people that originally led him down this path," he said. "I'd like to work with millennials because they're the ones more prone to get infected by the radicalism virus," he says.
