Take No Prisoners
Take No Prisoners offers unprecedented access to America’s top hostage negotiator, Roger Carstens, as he battles to free LA public defender Eyvin Hernandez from a notorious Venezuelan prison called “The House of Dreams.” The film captures the raw, emotional fight of Eyvin’s family as they pressure the president for action. With rare behind-the-scenes moments—from tense White House meetings to chaotic Caracas streets—this gripping documentary exposes the dangerous, high-stakes world of U.S. hostage recoveries, filled with setbacks, breakthroughs, and relentless determination.
