  • The Girlfriends: Spotlight, E15: Jacquie Saves a Hostage
    Feb 23 2026

    Jacquie Davis joined the police when she was just 18 years old. She was fearless and ambitious, but she quickly realised her career progression was limited by her gender and education. Everything changed when she was recruited into The Circuit - a secretive network of freelance security professionals.

    As one of the only women in her field, Jacquie’s career as a bodyguard would take her to incredible places - from high-risk protection jobs for Gulf State Sheikhas, to cracking a theft ring at bougie London department store Liberty, to a daring mission to free a pregnant British woman trapped in Pakistan. Risking arrest and armed conflict, will Jacquie and her charge make it across the mountains and to safety in India?

So Visaka transformed herself, first into a fighter against the bureaucracy of the Sri Lankan government and the Red Cross, and then into a fearsome peace activist.

    Defying warnings, she crosses into Tamil Tiger territory and sits down with some of the terrorist group’s most notorious leaders, appealing to their humanity as a mother. And eventually, they listen.
