On Christmas Eve 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke became the sole survivor of a commercial plane crash after falling nearly two miles into the Amazon rainforest, still strapped to her seat.

In this episode, we follow Juliane’s incredible 11-day journey alone through the jungle as she battled injury, hunger, infection, and grief. Using knowledge passed down from her scientist parents, she followed rivers, avoided deadly wildlife, and made decisions that ultimately led to her rescue.
