Like, I cannot put my family through this again if I get captured again.

And that was by ISIS.

And, you know, the chances of surviving a kidnapping like that were slim.

And so, you know, yes, I'm always thinking about the risks.

I'm always thinking about not only being a parent, but being a daughter and being a wife.

You know, it's all of these things combined.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess I've learned... It's not something that I've learned because, to me, family has always been extraordinarily important.

You know, family... I grew up in a very close Italian-American family.

And we see all your sisters in the film, too, and your parents.

Exactly, exactly.

And so, to me, family has always been everything.

But to create my own family with my husband has been a huge learning curve.

It's really about...

You know, for me, it's about my kids and making sure that they're happy, that they're safe.

Parenting is the hardest thing I've ever done.

I mean, and I've covered almost a dozen wars and definitely parenting is much harder.

Yeah.

I mean, it's something I grapple with all the time because when I started out, the journalists on the ground and people like me were the only platform for people who wanted to share their stories or to document what was happening on the ground.
