The traumatic experience, which took place in May this year, stunned the world, especially given the fact that one of the surviving children was just a baby.
The rescue involved an extensive search of more than 1,000 miles of Amazon rainforest and included 113 Colombian military personnel working with 92 trackers of indigenous peoples in the region.
The children, from the Uitoto indigenous community, Lesly (13 years old), Soleiny (9 years old), Tien Noriel (4 years old) and Cristin (1 year old), were found alive 40 days after the accident.

“We will deeply explore this engaging story, highlighting the hardships faced by these children and their determination to survive. We look forward to captivating audiences worldwide with this extraordinary story,” said Kevin Mayer, former Disney executive and head of the studio.
The case caught the attention of the world. The plane the children were on crashed on May 1. Initially scheduled to fly between Caquetá and San José del Guaviare, two important cities in the Colombian Amazon, the plane was carrying the four children and three adults, including their mother. Shortly after takeoff, the pilotreported faults in the aircraft, which subsequently disappeared from radars.
During the search operations, the adults were found dead, while the children remained missing for 40 days. Before being rescued, the teams found diapers, scissors, a bottle, a bitten passion fruit and footprints of the childrenfive kilometers from the crash site.
They were found alive on June 9, despite having faced extremely dangerous conditions, such as the presence of jaguars, snakes and mosquitoes, in addition to the scarcity of food and resources.
The various difficulties of this true story will be detailed and portrayed in the film, which still has no title or release date defined.
