Cleveland Abdcution. In a triumph over tragedy movie, Taryn Manning explores the true story of Michelle Knight, a 21 year old single mom, whose chance encounter with  criminal Ariel Castro, changes her life forever.

On August 22, 2002 Knight was abducted by Castro and held captive in his home for more than 11 years. Her strength came from her belief in God, and a determination to be reunited with her young son. Shortly after, Castro abducted two teenagers, Amanda Berry, played by Samantha Droke, and Gina DeJesus, who were also imprisoned beside Michelle.

Michelle, being the oldest, reaches out to help the others, who were all chained in a tiny claustrophobic room with one mattress. Seizing a moment of lack of judgement from Castro, the girls broke free and were miraculously rescued from their hopeless situation.

Cleveland Abduction airs tonight, May2nd, at 8pm ET/PT
