In April 1997-98 Camilla Carr and Jon James set off as volunteers
in a GBP500 Lada stacked high with toys, games, footballs, paints
and a parachute. Their destination was Chechnya and their aim was
to work with children who had been traumatised by war. After
working for two months setting up and teaching in a rehabilitation
centre and watching the children begin to smile and play again,
they were kidnapped by Chechen guerrillas. There followed fourteen
months of incarceration in homes that varied from a concrete box
with no natural light or fresh air, to a pink trompe la oeil
bedroom via a sauna and various cellars. They experienced
everything from rape and mental torture to moments of compassion
and kindness. They survived by using tools such as tai chi, yoga,
meditation and humour; and through creating a dialogue with their
captors, looking beneath their masks of fear and anger to reach the
small flame of love and laughter unquenched by the demonising
nature of war.
