Directed by Oscar winner Orlando von Einsiedel (The White Helmets, Virunga), with Colombian Jorge Dur n and British-Peruvian Lali Houghton, this is the amazing survival story of the Mucutuy siblings, and the heroic quest to bring them home.
Four Indigenous children, ages 13, 9, 4 years, and 11 months are forced to survive 40 days in the Colombian jungle after a tragic plane crash kills their mother, and the other adults on board. This documentary features first-hand testimonies and extraordinary archive material from those who risked their lives to search for them, including the Colombian Army, Indigenous volunteer rescuers, and the children's family.
The Lost Children is a dramatic story that celebrates human endeavor, teamwork, and Indigenous knowledge, unraveling the mysteries of the Amazon rainforest.
It's always crucial to treat stories involving painful human tragedy with the deep respect and sensitivity they deserve. I was drawn to this particular narrative because it was clear that within it were many glimpses of incredible human resilience and strength - not only the children's battle to survive in the forest alone but also the way in which Indigenous rescuers and the military were able to overcome their mutual mistrust and fear to unite in a dangerous and epic mission to rescue the children , said Orlando von Einsiedel.
