HARDtalk celebrates its twentieth anniversary with a repeat of one of its classic interviews. Kidnapped in 2002 whilst campaigning to become Colombia's president, Ingrid Betancourt was held hostage for more than six years in the Colombian jungle by left-wing guerrillas. She was rescued in an audacious effort by Colombian intelligence. Stephen Sackur met her shortly after her release where she told him her focus was to secure the release of the remaining hostages held in the jungle - and that she wouldn't rule out running for president again.
