The terrorist group Boko Haram has abducted and brutalized thousands over the past decade in the east African country of Nigeria - including more than 1,000 girls kidnapped from their schools and forced into unspeakable captivity.

In the process, she found herself reflecting on her own harrowing story of abduction, the topic of her documentary, "Captive." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
