 In
February 2002, in the midst of her controversial campaign for
president, Senator Ingrid Betancourt was kidnapped and became
one of the thousands of victims of Colombia’s 40-year-old civil
war. Using voiceovers from radio interviews taken before she
was abducted, footage from the campaign trail and a chilling
proof of life video released by her captors, Betancourt narrates
her own story.
