By Arjan Erkel

Arjan was working as Head of Mission for "Doctors without Borders," when Muslim rebels brutally kidnapped him in the Republic of Dagestan situated in Russia's turbulent North Caucasus.READ MOREGuarded by heavily armed men in masks, Arjan spent twenty months (607 days) in a dark cage measuring five feet by six feet with nothing but insects and rodents as cell mates. These days and nights tested his hopes and beliefs in ways that few will ever experience.You will be inspired by what Arjan endured while being held captive. It's the kind of true story that changes peoples lives for the better because it teaches by his powerful example of overcoming the odds.This is more than a tale of just survival rather it's the start of Arjan's life work that has now become a movement. There is much to be learned and even more to be experienced in this personal journey of one mans rise from prisoner to freedom fighter.
