Bha an nighean, a bha 36, ag obair dhan bhuidhinn cobhair Ameireaganach, DAI Eadar-n脿iseanta nuair a chaidh a toirt an gr猫im le reubaltaich Afganach. Airson d脿 sheachdain ch霉m a luchd-glacaidh i ann an 脿ite beanntach neo-bh脿idheil, ga gluasad eadar sreath de thuathanasan iomallach.

Crofters John and Lorna Norgrove have given cameras a glimpse into their changed world both at home in the Isle of Lewis and during their recent journey to Afghanistan, where their daughter Linda died during a failed US rescue attempt in 2010.

The 36-year-old was working for the American aid agency DAI International when she was kidnapped by Afghan rebels. For two weeks her captors led her into a hostile mountain region, moving between a series of remote farmsteads. On October 8 2010, Linda was killed by an American grenade during a pre-dawn rescue that also saw all of her captors killed.

Linda's Story traces the emotional journey taken by family and friends in the two years since, and their determination not to apportion blame, which has earned them international respect.
