A South American adventure. A trip to die for. Colombia 1994. 150,000 people have been 'disappeared' and two young adventure-seeking backpackers are about to be added to the list. 'We were going to be killed. For what? A pair of rich-country passports? Our rucksacks? The clothes that we were wearing? They didn't know about the silver. Or about the money I had hidden on me. But of course, they'd be finding it. A little bonus. Once we'd stopped struggling and become silent. A glint as the knife blade moved. 2.8 seconds of real-time left. Big... deep... breath.' 3 Seconds in Bogota is the true story of a British traveller who alongside his girlfriend, fell into the hands of the Colombian underworld.
