Soon to be a film: Girl Who Fell from the Sky, starring Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner. The amazing true story of the sole survivor of a plane crash and her 11-day trek through the Peruvian rainforest back to civilisation.
Her account of the 11-day trek is enthralling. In shock and suffering from injuries, she made it to a river s edge without her eyeglasses, wearing just a minidress and one sandal. It was rainy season, so there was no fruit to eat. She was either freezing or boiling, set upon by bugs. She contended with stingrays, snakes, king vultures and caimans. Eventually, local woodcutters found her and mistook her for a water goddess. Brought to safety, she became an international icon of hope.
