One that links with ours is the episode in Haiti as many people are living in poor living conditions and have for some time. Slowly things are improving in this episode but money that was expected has not arrived so people of Haiti are very angry. The natural disaster (earthquake) has caused all the destruction to the small country and a massive rebuilding process needs to begin as much diseases is being spread around the tents where people are staying
Our film pitch is looking at a man who hasn't had a home for many years which is where the link is.
We have also been interested in other kidnapping and missing children cases. One that caught our eye was the newspaper article on Jaycee Dugard who was kidnapped at the age of 11 in the year 1991 (similar age in our film idea). This case is similar to ours as the victim has very little contact with the outside world. They also feel very lonely and scared while being help captive. Both victims are kept in a similar environment as they both live at the back of the Captors garden. Jaycee's stepfather witnessed the kidnapping and informed local authorities straight away. A major search was carried out for Jaycee with dogs and aircrafts, this proved pointless as Jaycee was living 170 miles away in California. She was held for 18 years.
We have looked to take the idea of showing clips of our victim as a child before the kidnapping to outline how their life dramatically changes.
