Documentary on Ces Drilon's kidnapping on Sunday, July 13

You've seen the news coverage, but do you know the story?

"Kidnap" is a documentary about what happened in the nine days that ABS-CBN Senior Correspondent Ces Drilon, Cameraman Jimmy Encarnacion, and Assistant Cameraman Angelo Valderama were held captive by armed men in Sulu.

The documentary, airing on Sunday, July 13th at 10pm, is a story told from their differing perspectives.

The three narratives are pieced together into one storyline and supported by the extraordinary footage shot by Encarnacion in captivity- at great risk to his life.

"Kidnap" lets Valderama narrate what went through his mind while his kidnappers demonstrated to him just how he would be beheaded, lets Encarnacion relate how "Ma'am Ces" offered her life in exchange for his, and lets Drilon describe just how it feels to realize that no story is worth a life.

This is a documentary about recklessness and violence, about spirits that will not be broken by the barrel of a gun, about brotherhood, about family, about choices, about fear, and about just what it means to have courage.


i had watch the kidnap documentary and saw the actual footage that the camera man. its really a unforgotten experience that who ever will encounter this kind of situation.
