After days, sometimes, months of detention in rough conditions,
abductees and their families have agreed to testify in front of our
cameras and tell their ordeal... How do you live during captivity? How
do you keep on living, day after day? What inspires you during those
long hours of waiting? How do you stay alive, in spite of the

do you keep hoping? And when the liberation comes, how do you
reconstruct your family? How can you ever forget what happened to you?
