The interview follows the couple's legal battles, a Board of Inquiry into Joshua's actions, and their eventual reunion with Sparrow after she was found and rescued from behind Taliban lines. The Masts also praise the numerous individuals, from medical staff to military personnel, who aided in Sparrow's rescue, while also raising concerns about government overreach and corruption.
