Awake At Night

Vincent Cochetel has worked for the UNHCR for over 30 years. He spent the first part of his career listening to other people's horror stories, but then his own life became a nightmare. In 1998 while working in the Caucasus in southern Russia he was kidnapped and held hostage for 317 days.  This is his story.
