I'm Rebecca Lavoie, and this is You Can't Make This Up.

You Can't Make This Up is the podcast where we uncover the true stories behind your favorite Netflix documentaries and films.

On today's episode, we take an even closer look at the Netflix documentary film, Kidnapped Elizabeth Smart.

If anyone comes into this camp, this is the knife I'm going to use to kill them, and it'll be your fault.

Today, we're turning things over to our friends at Netflix's Skip Intro and their conversation

with Elizabeth Smart.

She reflects on the harrowing experience of being abducted from her bedroom at just 14 years

old.

In this intimate conversation, Elizabeth opens up about why she wanted to retell her story

in more explicit detail and help other survivors not feel alone.

I'm not my past.

I am just who I am right now, right here in the moment.

And three kids.

Are we going to have any more?

No.

You're done at three.

for victims and survivors and I'm really excited to have you here to talk about your new doc
