Miami, FL -- In a U.S.-exclusive interview with Fernando del Rincon, anchor of the Univision Network’s cutting-edge magazine-style news program ‘Primer Impacto: Fin de Semana’, Ernestina Sodi speaks to the press for the first time since her highly-publicized kidnapping. This special program, ‘Primer Impacto Edición Especial: 35 Días de Agonía’ (First Impact Special Edition: 35 Days of Agony) will air tonight from 10 to 11 pm ET/PT (9 pm Central).
 
In this candid interview with Fernando del Rincón, Ernestina talks about the fear and emotional turmoil she experienced throughout the uncertain days of her abduction. She discloses her feelings about her captors and shares some of the insight she developed as a result of her captivity.  Better known as the sister of famous Mexican singer/actress, Thalia (the wife of Tommy Mottola), Ernestina Sodi was kidnapped on September 22 in Mexico City and held by her captors until her release 35 days later.
Despite the hardship she endured during her captivity, Ernestina demonstrates an indomitable spirit and positive outlook as she looks forward to the launch of a new book.
