Kidnap Capital (2016)

Picture a journey where you abandon all that is familiar - belongings, friends, family. A trek that spans half a continent, traversed on foot, atop freight trains, and inside truck trailers. Braving treacherous rivers, sneaking across borders, and enduring the harsh Arizona desert. Confronted by violence, robbery, and assault. Overcoming even the horrors of rape. Finally reaching the United States after a life in impoverished regions of Central America. Yet, in this so-called "promised" land, you are an outsider - both legally and socially. Unfamiliar with the language, anonymous and unnoticed. Envision the experience of being a nameless soul. Now, envision the sudden darkness as a bag is thrust over your head. Stripped of your clothing, confined in a room with strangers. A gun aimed at your head, coerced to make a desperate call home for ransom money, your very life hanging in the balance.
