Take No Prisoners is the first feature documentary from VF .

The film is based on a story written by VF contributing editor Adam Ciralsky .

It focuses on efforts to free Los Angeles public defender Eyvin Hernandez from a notorious Venezuelan prison known as the House of Dreams .

The documentary aims to capture the plight of Hernandez ’s extended family as they pressure the White House for action.

Adam Ciralsky and Roger Carstens are the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs.

The film will be screened at SXSW on March 8 and 9 , along with a follow-up panel on March 10 .

The pair talk about the interplay of policy, politics, and faith that define what is known as the hostage enterprise.

CNN 's Roger Ciralsky and Adam Carstens are co-hosting a dramatic adaptation of the story.

The show will be based on the story of Evan Gershkovich and Brittney Griner .

They say it was a topic that was badly mishandled and a bipartisan issue.
