Mark Henderson's Story

In 2003 film-maker Mark Henderson was trekking in the Colombian jungle with a group of foreign tourists when he was taken hostage by the Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), a Colombian Marxist group. Two of the hostages were released early, but Mark, along with four Israelis, were held for a total of 101 days. During that time they were made to walk over 700 miles in remote moutainous jungle. Six years after his release Mark returned to the jungle to meet one of his captors, Antonio, and make a documentary. My Kidnapper was released in 2011.
