A report on one woman's fight to get her abducted sons back from their French father, who has ignored court orders from both Britain and France to return them to their mother.

An Inside Out special report telling the harrowing story of a mother's fight to get her abducted children back from France. Two years ago Sam Raw's two boys, Dylan and Austin, were abducted by their French father. Despite the highest courts both in Britain and France ordering the boys to be returned to their mother, the father has repeatedly refused to hand them back. Sam has paid a high price in her continuing battle to win back her sons, but it's a struggle she refuses to concede.

According to Reunite, the charity that campaigns on abduction by a parent, there has been a 200 per cent increase in the number of cases reported between 1995 and 2009. They receive over 7,000 calls a year. This film follows Sam as she fights to bring both her sons back to England, including a dramatic escape plan involving secret signals and a drive through France under the cover of darkness.
