On December 24, 1971, LANSA Flight 508 broke apart in a thunderstorm over the Peruvian Amazon. 92 people died. A 17-year-old girl fell 3,000 meters — still strapped to her seat — and survived. Then she walked for 11 days through one of the deadliest jungles on Earth to find her way out.
This is the true story of Juliane Koepcke — the daughter of two zoologists who, without knowing it, had spent her whole childhood preparing her for the eleven days that would demand everything they ever taught her.
Alone, injured, and without her glasses, she followed a single rule her father once gave her: find water, and follow it downstream. Water leads to people.
Her mother was on the same flight.
