The Kidnapping of Ingrid Betancourt
In Colombia, a nation scarred by civil strife for close to 40 years, Ingrid Betancourt shook up the political scene and garnered national prominence with a bold campaign against drug cartels and political corruption. In the midst of her ambitious 2002 presidential candidacy, Betancourt was silenced after she was kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) -- and spent election day deep in the jungle, just one more of nearly three thousand such victims each year. A film by Victoria Bruce and Karin Hayes, the CINEMAX Reel Life presentation THE KIDNAPPING OF INGRID BETANCOURT recounts the extraordinary story of one woman's fight to purge her nation of corruption and her family's desperate struggle to free her and keep her message alive.
