Ep. 38  Rabia Siddique
Rabia is a hostage survivor. It’s part of a story that has its beginnings as a human rights and criminal lawyer, British Army officer and subsequently a best selling author and professional speaker. It’s a very different story from those I’ve brought you to date, but it does share some common themes. Like all my guests, she has been confronted with numerous obstacles, hurdles, challenges and discrimination but, unlike my other guests, some situations she had to literally stare down and, if not handled well, would have cost her her life.  The injustice she suffered was authorised by those at the very top. It's literally unbelievable. 
The whole story of resilience, determination and how treating others with respect and dignity undoubtedly saved her life and those of her fellow hostages - should be made into a movie. As fate would have it, the story IS being made into a movie. My suggestions were (once again rightly) laughed at. I think they may have merit though.
