Cath Clarke Guardian The film-makers get incredible access to both sets of rescuers and the way these two mutually distrustful groups eventually joined forces is a valuable reminder about the power of coming together. Rated: 3/5 Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Jayne Nelson Radio Times Much like the search itself, the film meanders a little too widely, but its finale is cathartic.

Juan David L Amazing documentary of an incredible rescue and survival story. Its a film about opposites coming together to work for a common goal. Indigenous communities and the military looking past their differences, belief systems and culture to rescue a group of kids. Also discusses the mystical nature of the forest and the special, if not magical, connection that indigenous persons have with the jungle. I read a Guardian review saying that the abuse of the father received a tactless treatment from the director. Couldn’t disagree more, the movie barely touches on this point and only brings it in the context of presenting the theory that the jungle itself was rejecting the father or that the kids may have been afraid of him. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review maria g Beautiful and so well made documentary, it’s hard to believe this is a true story, love it Gives me hope in humanity it shows how when we join forces and respect each other we can achieve the unthinkable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Daniel N This intense documentary about a remarkable rescue mission does not disappoint and captivates you from start till end. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Javi B It is a great documentary! Incredible history Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Star R Wonderful movie! It respects both sides of culture and past times (military/indigenous) and pulls in another unexpected sad male dominate trait of which the children flee from. Well documented. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Monica R Beautiful story about team work, magic forces from the nature that ended in a miracle rescue. You can’t believe this is a true story Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
