Ex-French Hostage: ISIS Captives Don't Know They're About to Die

The American captives shown in Islamic State (ISIS) videos just prior to their executions appear "calm" because they are unaware they are about to be murdered, said a released French hostage, the Daily Mail reported.

French journalist Didier Francois, 53, who works for Paris radio station Europe 1, was held for 10 months by ISIS in Syria before he was released in April, according to the BBC.

Another French hostage, Nicholas Henin, said in an interview with France24 that "The conditions were not always hard. The physical violence is not the worst," The Independent reported. "The uncertainty of not knowing what is going to happen the next day or the next minute is traumatizing."

Henin, who also was held for 10 months in Syria, according to The Independent, added, "That is the conditioning of the hostages. That is itself already a sort of violence."

I think they are very calm because the director of the film assured them they would use a rubber knife.
