    The Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story is about a family wishing to find the where abouts of their daughter, who vanished when she was thirteen.

    I am generally not a fan of documentaries, but this one is a remarkable film! When I saw this film at George Mason University, I cried because it was so sad and moving. You literally feel the anguish and sadness seep through this film. I hope and pray that all the IMDb users who read my review or others (which, will probably be better then this review), will go and see this film. Hopefully, once you see the film, you will tell your family and friends about the film. Even if, you do not like this style of filming or are not fans of this genre, should see this film! If you have to see a documentary film, I highly recommend this one and I give this film 9 out of 10!
