Trama
Quattro bambini indigeni, di età compresa tra i 13 anni e un solo anno di vita, sopravvivono da soli per 40 giorni nella foresta amazzonica colombiana dopo un tragico incidente aereo in cui perdono la madre. In uno degli ambienti più ostili e inaccessibili del pianeta, affrontano fame, piogge torrenziali, predatori e un isolamento assoluto. A guidarli non è solo l’istinto, ma la forza del legame familiare e il sapere ancestrale trasmesso dalla loro comunità Huitoto. “Lost in the Jungle” è il racconto potente e rigoroso di una vicenda che ha commosso il mondo intero, restituendo dignità e centralità a una storia di resistenza infantile e culturale. Il film documentario intreccia materiali d’archivio, animazioni e testimonianze esclusive in una ricostruzione narrativa che dà voce ai protagonisti diretti – dai bambini sopravvissuti alle comunità indigene e ai soccorritori – per restituire profondità umana, prospettiva e contesto a un evento che è diventato caso nazionale. Una riflessione commovente sul rapporto tra uomo e natura, sulla trasmissione del sapere, sull’infanzia, che racconta con rispetto e precisione una delle storie più straordinarie degli ultimi anni.
Four Indigenous children, ranging in age from 13 years to just one year old, survive alone for 40 days in the Colombian Amazon rainforest after a tragic plane crash in which they lose their mother. In one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they face hunger, torrential rains, predators, and absolute isolation. What guides them is not only instinct, but also the strength of their family bond and the ancestral knowledge passed down by their Huitoto community. “Lost in the Jungle” is a powerful and meticulous account of a story that moved the entire world, restoring dignity and focus to a tale of both childhood and cultural resilience. The documentary weaves together archival materials, animations, and exclusive testimonies in a narrative reconstruction that gives voice to the direct protagonists—from the surviving children to Indigenous communities and rescuers—bringing human depth, perspective, and context to an event that became a national case. A moving reflection on the relationship between humankind and nature, on the transmission of knowledge, and on childhood itself, told with respect and precision through one of the most extraordinary stories of recent years.
