In today's episode, we're diving deep into an incredible survival story that captured the world attention. Four indigenous children (aged 13,9,4 and 11 months old!) disappeared in the heart of the Amazon jungle after plane crash showcasing the remarkable power of human resilience. Imagine this incredible scene, a rescue mission in Southern Columbia over a lush, green rainforest with nowhere in sight to land a helicopter, men repelling out of the chopper to the forrest floor, to hoist the children one by one, exhausted and dehydrated up to the wings of safety.
Today we explore the story of these children, their resilience and the hope of the community that made this rescue possible.
