Episode 25: Miracle Fishing: Kidnapped Abroad with Director Miles Hargrove

Eric on the World - Ein Podcast von Eric Barry

In 1994, Miles Hargrove and his family were living in Cali, Colombia when his father, Tom Hargrove, was kidnapped by FARC, a militant guerilla political group. With a ransom of $6 million being demanded, and threats of Tom's execution, Miles' family had no choice but band together and form their own task force with one mission: get their father back safely. Miracle Fishing: Kidnapped Abroad is Miles' documentary of those events, told using actual home movies he shot back in 1994. Miles joins me this week to discuss the events in Colombia, the emotional rollercoaster of it all, and everything that happened when the camera wasn't rolling. It's an incredibly harrowing story, and Miles does a phenomenal job of enriching his film even further in our conversation.
