Take No Prisoners: An Unprecedented Glimpse Into U.S. Hostage Negotiations

Mar 10, 2025

4:00pm – 5:00pm CT

Austin Convention Center
Room 13AB

Check out the documentary film “Take No Prisoners”

Join directors Adam Ciralsky and Subrata De alongside Ambassador Roger D. Carstens (Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, 2020-2025) for a conversation surrounding the complex hostage negotiation process detailed in their documentary, Take No Prisoners. The panel will illuminate the urgency of the U.S. hostage crisis and explore the filmmakers’ unique approach to balancing sensitive government material with the moving story of Los Angeles Public Defender Eyvin Hernandez, who was wrongfully detained in Venezuela.
