Veteran journalist Mellissa Fung uncovers the stories of the girls taken captive by the terrorist group Boko Haram. Fung, who was captured by Taliban sympathizers in Afghanistan herself, conducted hundreds of hours of interviews with the survivors and their families. These are stories of rape, torture, escape and excommunication, as the girls fight against the terrorist group in their own ways and rebuild their lives in the aftermath.

Mellissa Fung is a bestselling author, journalist and filmmaker. In 2008, as a field correspondent covering Afghanistan for CBC, she was taken hostage. Fung wrote about that experience in her book Under an Afghan Sky.
