Jake Hanrahan (born 23 January, 1990) is a British journalist and documentary filmmaker.
Hanrahan reports on war and conflict, focusing on militia forces, paramilitaries and guerrilla warfare. He is best known for his work covering the PKK, a Kurdish militant group in southeast Turkey. He was arrested in September 2015 in Turkey with his colleagues Philip Pendlebury and Mohammed Rasool, after the three embedded with the PKK's youth wing, the YDG-H, who were actively fighting the Turkish Armed Forces. Hanrahan spent two weeks in several maximum security prisons in Turkey, including Diyarbakır Prison and Adana F-tipi, before being deported back to the UK.[1][2] After being released, Hanrahan told the Guardian that incarceration in a Turkish prison was "one of the most traumatic experiences of my life".[3] Hanrahan called on Turkey to release translator Mohammed Rasool, who remained in detention after Hanrahan's release.[4]
Hanrahan has also reported on the Ukraine war, embedding with both the Ukraine Army[5] and the separatist forces in the Donbass.[6] He's also covered conflict in Syria, Iraq, Palestine and various riots across Europe,[7] as well as on the Dark Web and international drug smuggling.[8]
Hanrahan runs an independent media platform called 'Popular Front', which consists of a podcast, documentaries and investigations. The podcast launched in July 2018, and by August 2018 was receiving 50,000 unique downloads a month.[9] In November 2019, Instagram deleted the Popular Front account from its platform.[10]
Hanrahan has also worked as a producer on Vice documentaries Enemies at the Gates (2013) and Sweden’s War on Fascists (2013).[7][11]
