📖 Summary
Terror Comes Knocking: The Marcela Borges Story dramatizes the harrowing true events of November 2009, when Marcela Borges, a pregnant mother, and her family were held hostage for three days by masked gunmen in their Florida home. The captors demanded $200,000, tortured the family, and forced Marcela to withdraw nearly $24,000 from her bank. Her courageous escape—leaping from a second-story window despite being shot—led to their rescue. The film explores survival, trauma, and the strength of a mother protecting her family.
