From the jungles of colombia. She came as a free woman after more than six years as perhaps the most famous captive in the world. Hers is an extraordinary story, from Hellish Imprisonment to miraculous rescue. And now Ingrid Betancourt is ready to tell it. Ingrid betancourt, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you so much, im so glad to be here with you today. Were very glad to have you on the programme. Youve had a week and a little bit more of freedom. How do you feel now . Well, its a shock. First, because after years of being every day submerged into sadness, im the opposite now. Its the euphoria of being with my family, and feeling so much happiness, its just great. Has the euphoria to any extent worn off yet . No. I hope it wont go ever again. I mean, i would like to always remember how great it is to be alive and how great it is to be free. I dont want to forget it. I think we shouldnt forget. Its a privilege. Has it been somewhat disorientating to be, for more than six years, a captive
