Speaker profile last updated by AAE Talent Team on 08/14/2024.
Through his speech, American-born Kurt Muse takes audiences back to the nine months he spent in a small concrete cell in Panama’s Modelo Prison in 1989. The former Panamanian opposition leader, whose inspiring life story is being turned into a major motion picture, candidly recounts his life as an oppositionist, a prisoner in solitary confinement, and, ultimately, the first American to be freed by U.S. Army Delta Force operators.
Muse’s thrilling account of surviving imprisonment and escaping execution by narco-military dictator General Manuel Noriega’s regime is emotional, riveting, and, at times, humorous. Muse’s honesty, paired with photos and mementos from his time in Panama, are disarming and impactful. His speech promises lessons learned on the importance of mental toughness, overcoming adversity, and, perhaps the most powerful—the most important things in life.
