Description:
"For 16 months, the Rev. Benjamin Weir was in captivity as a hostage in
Lebanon; and in a sense his family also was held hostage. In their own words,
family members tell of their private ordeal and the great release they
themselves experienced when husband and father Ben was unexpectedly set free.
The program features excerpts from Ben Weir's September 24, 1985 homecoming
press conference at the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.,
plus exclusive interviews with Ben Weir, Carol Weir, and other Weir family
members."
