The remarkable story of a Northern Irish family who faced death in Africa fifty years ago and survived. Bob and Alma McAllister were missionaries in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the 1960s they and their three children were caught up in a revolution, kidnapped for four months, rescued by Cuban mercenaries - and finally flown to safety.
A year later - they went back.
Tonight you can watch their whole story on BBC1 Northern Ireland in a programme called "A Deadly Mission - Belfast to Congo".
The programme producer Jane McGowan and Bob and Alma's son Bill McAllister where on Good Morning Ulster.
