Episode Format
The episodes typically contain a mixture of interviews with the real people and actors reconstructing the events. The convicted or captured are shown talking about their experiences, over dramatic reenactments of their respective experiences. The episodes focus on the events leading up to the arrest or time in captivity.
In one case, at the end of the episode, the convicted are shown sitting with handcuffs on, where they are still in jail. In most cases, the convicted or captured have returned home from where they are telling their story. In other cases, the convicted or captured are shown revisiting the country of the incident.

Famous quotes containing the word episode:
“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
