Produktbeschreibung
An extraordinary, gripping survival story that also reveals the struggles for social justice of the indigenous people of Colombia and the Amazon. The June 2023 rescue of four indigenous children - Lesly, Soleiny, Tien, and Cristin - after forty days in the Colombian Amazon has been heralded as one of the great survival stories. Through interviews with the family, members of the indigenous and military search teams, and elders from Colombia's Amazonian communities, Forty Days in the Jungle tells this remarkable story in the words of its fascinating and complex characters. It goes further, however, in investigating the brutal history, resilient culture, and current struggles of Colombia's indigenous communities. By shining a light on the historical context preceding the crash and the aftermath of the children's rescue, the book demonstrates that 13-year-old Lesly and her siblings were survivors even before they set foot on flight HK2803.
