Synopsis
Through first-person accounts and actual news footage the program recreates ten survival stories. After John Walsh's 6-year-old son was abducted and murdered, he and his wife created the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Millie Webb explains how she helped start MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) after a drunk driver rear-ended her car, killing her 4-year-old daughter and 19-month-old nephew. Erik Weihenmayer lost his sight at age 13, but developed an unflappable sense of self, becoming the first blind person to climb Mount Everest. James Brady was shot in the head during an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Brady and his wife are now champions for gun control legislation.
