The interesting thing is she's got a lot of bravery. And if you read her bio, she has not been afraid of walking into the African warlords area, into the jungles, into the bushlands and negotiating with the worst of the worst in order to save her people. It wasn't very different. We asked her, would she consider a conversation with a militia group?

It took an extra like maybe 45 minutes to an hour for an engineer to come down and fix the motors so that the barge could come across. And we had actually be given a timeline.
