Summary

In 1945 a sightseeing tour plane carrying American military personnel crashed into the western New Guinea jungle. The survivors spent the next several weeks trying to survive the harsh elements in a land they knew very little about. They weren't alone though, they had landed right in the middle of indigenous tribal territory, people who they knew to be cannibalistic and violent. In this struggle for survival, they'll have to open their hearts and minds to people who are foreign to them if they want to make it out alive.

1:08.8	As quoted by Andrew Smith, people fear what they don't understand and hate what they
