huge business of kidnapping, how it affects the life of the middle-and-upper classes, the police, and the criminals who live by it.
You won't easily forget this film!
Recently, Mexico also has become plagued with well-organized groups of kidnappers.
In Colombia, they've evolved a complex strategy: they stop traffic with heavily armed cars forward and behind. A bandit approaches each driver of the best cars and asks for their credit cards, licenses, check books, etc. To hand over nothing is to receive an immediate pistol whipping. Meanwhile, a van with computer satellite hookup awaits the bank info and then scans into each person's account. The one or two with the most is taken.
There is a very good likelihood that you will not be returned and, if you are, you most definitely will have been injured, tortured, maimed.
Experience what it's like to live under that kind of criminal license.
