A Cleveland kidnap victims video has been released by a public relations firm to thank supporters of Cleveland kidnap victims Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.  The cleveland kidnap victims are recovering from their ordeal of a decade in captivity.

This is the first on-camera appearance of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight since they were freed from their captor Ariel Castro - who allegedly beat and raped them, holding them locked inside his house under unimaginable conditions.

The video is three and a half minutes long and was posted on Youtube on Monday by Hennes Paynter Comunications

In the Cleveland Kidnap Victims video, all three women thank the supporters who came to their aid after they were freed on May 6.

Amanda Berry says: "First and foremost, I want everyone to understand how happy I am to be home with my family and my friends. It's been unbelievable."

"I'm getting stronger each day and having my privacy has helped immensely. I ask that everyone continues to respect our privacy and give us to time have a normal life."

Kathy Joseph, an attorney for Knight, said in a statement that the three women wished to 'say thank you to people from Cleveland and across the world, now that two months have passed.'

Because they are being recognized in public "they decided to put voices and faces to their heartfelt messages."

Michelle Knight said: 'Thank you everyone for your love support and donations, which helped me build a brand new life. I want everyone to know I'm doing just fine,' she said.

"I may have been through hell and back, but I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and with my head held high and with my feet firmly on the ground," Michelle Knight says.

"God has a plan for all of us. The plan that he gave me is for me to help others that have been in the same situations I have been in - to know that there is someone out there to lean on and to talk to," Michelle Knight says.

"I am in control of my own destiny with the guidance of God."

Gina De Jesus speaks one line in the video.  She thanks supporters with the help of her family.
