The film features first-hand testimonies and extraordinary archives from those who risked their lives to search for the children, including the Colombian military, local volunteer rescuers, and dedicated family members.
According to Washington Post, The children were originally intended to board a small six-seater plane with their mother, Magdalena Mokoti Valencia, to start a new life in Bogotá, Colombia, with Magdalena’s husband and Manuel Miller Roanoke, father of Tyne and Christine. His journey follows the takeover of his family’s village by a criminal gang.
About 35 minutes into the flight, the engine failed, causing the plane to plunge head first into the forest. Three adults in the front of the plane died during or shortly after the crash. The children are believed to have survived because they were seated in the back of the plane where the plane suffered minimal damage. During the children’s time in the Amazon, they reportedly lived off seeds, roots, and plants.
Two weeks after the crash, Colombian soldiers found Hernán Murcia, the pilot, local leader Herman Mendoza Hernández and Magdalena dead.
“It is always important to present stories involving painful human tragedy with deep respect and sensitivity,” von Einsedel said in a press release announcing the film. “I was drawn to this particular story because it was clear that there were many glimpses of incredible human resilience and strength – not only the children’s fight to survive in the jungle, but also the way in which local rescuers and the military were able to overcome their mutual distrust and fear to unite in a dangerous and epic mission to save the children.
