Ingrid Betancourt with Kirsty Wark (2011 Event)

When Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt went on
the campaign trail in 2002, she could not have imagined that it
would end in a kidnapping and six year incarceration at the hands
of guerrilla forces. Even Silence Has an End is her tale of her
jungle ordeal which included beatings by her captors, mutual
distrust of fellow prisoners and a constant struggle to escape
the attentions of red ants, tarantulas, anacondas and bears. In
this event, recorded live at the 2011 Edinburgh International
Book Festival, she discussed her experiences with Kirsty Wark.
